Rocket science - sorted

Look at these chocolate banana muffins! All light and fluffy and risen out of their cases. Thank you, Nigella Lawson, rocket scientist par excellence.

A good question

A question from 8-yo yesterday:

"Mummy, is rocket science difficult?"

I just said yes. I said it must be very difficult and complicated to send up a rocket into space. But it's an assumption, isn't it? I could have said "Rocket science? Nah. Any old numpty can work for NASA if they want. Baking muffins that turn out light and fluffy. That's what's really difficult."

Because that is what I find difficult. Nay, impossible.

And remembering that red wine, though delicious, doesn't agree with me. (It's an age thing, I think; this is a new problem.)

And reversing in a straight line (I'm ok manoeuvring, but I find it hard to reverse straight back).

And spelling "manoeuvring", (though I hadn't thought about that one till just then).

What about you? What do you find difficult?
