In possibly unexpected news, we actually did do the Acid Rain experiment this morning! K slept in, so I suggested that we do it before she got up and decided to “help”. B was not terribly excited when the darned pH paper kept coming up as “neutral” in tap water and rain water, and even me pointing out that this was A Good Thing since we drink this stuff mollified her much *g* She cheered herself up afterwards by using the last of the pH testing strips to measure all the other household items she could think of. I now know the pH of my morning coffee… She also got down the Bath Fizz kit we bought a while back, but there wasn’t anything in there which was particularly interesting, and she didn’t want to make another bath bomb, so she just mixed chemicals together to see them fizz. We may get around to setting up the crystal-growing experiment this afternoon as well. Beloved, if you have an hour or so free on the weekend for some Daddy-daughter time, could you revisit your youthful enchantment with chemistry and get down the big experiments kit we got her for her birthday last year? I suspect you will be much more fun to do it with than me!

B has played a bit of Rune Scape as well, but I convinced her that it might be a good idea to have breakfast and a shower before we ended up in a mad scramble to get out the door to the knitting day (starts at 11). K has awakened and is having her breakfast, so I will go and scrounge some clothes together for her now…
