Question: do your children get in the way of your work some times

Ohhhh, that question puts me in a tight spot! No, Connor is our numero uno consideration. It is true, however, that having Connor has changed the way in which I have to work and it is, sometimes, not possible to fit in all the work things that I used to do. It’s certainly true that I work less at the weekends than I used to. So, I wouldn’t change things (and it’s brilliant seeing a wee fella begin to learn new things all the time) but, equally, I would admit it has had some impact on science work.
