I made two upside down cakes but the fruit stuck to the pan and ruined the pattern. I sandwiched them so that the tops, which were once the bottoms, are now facing each other in the middle. 'But which way up does it go?' You ask It spins infinitely. I've invented the first perpetual motion machine

Devastated that the Centre for Lifelong Learning @york.ac.uk is being closed after 40 years. What a loss to education in the region. Feel for students and staff. Being a tutor has been joy, doing what universities should be doing by sharing knowledge widely with our communities.

After spending decades of my life using female public toilets with ease and experiencing no problems, I have decided that they should be an arena for vigilante justice and big brother style surveillance, a frightening no man’s land in the gender wars. For women’s safety.
