I am a sucker for musical theatre and so it was no surprise that I again found myself at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle upon Tyne, this time to see Motown the Musical which was written by Berry Gordy the guy who set up initially Tamla records in January 12, 1959 then incorporated it into the Motown Record Corporation in April 14, 1960.

There has been lots of stormy weather about lately which caused a lot of ‘debonding’ to occur. In this case the debonded material was trees, house roofs etc. It was coincidental then that I was reading an interesting article on the NASSA web site concerning their Cassini spacecraft which has been studying Saturn’s moons especially Titan.

It is great to have some hot, dry weather in the UK lately instead of our usual rain filled grey skies! It gave me the chance to get out into the garden, if not to work then at least to sit in it.

They can be as troublesome as cement blocking in a silo or fly ash building up on boiler tubes.
