Decent advise.

I don’t think I fancy trying it. I have always liked words and was reasonably good at English in school, but not so good with numbers. Only just scraped a maths o-level.

My maths is awful. Truly awful. I started learning maths at a late age plus I was used to different money, so never got the hang of it

To go from decimal to pounds, shillings and pence was pretty much a no no.

I can still remember mathematical stuff like the solution to a quadratic equation...

if ax^2 + bx + c = 0 then x = (-b +/- sqrt (b^2 - 4ac))/2a...

... but I can't remember what I did last week!

I have to ask Mr WD what X cm is in inches and mm as well.

Oh, I managed it.

My simple pleasures today -
A walk to the gym, spotting two siskins and a sparrowhawk along the way.
From the gym I caught a bus into town and found a nice cafe for lunch, scrambled egg on toast and a piece of lemon sponge.
Wandered around the Central Library for a bit then made my way around the corner for my 2 o'clock shift at St Giles.
The sunlight through the windows at St Giles was spectacular this afternoon and we had live music, rehearsals for a Vivaldi recital, sounded wonderful.
After tea watched a brilliant stage of the Tour of Provence.
A very satisfactory day.

Oh, forgot the rugby was on. That’ll give me something to watch this afternoon as there’s rain forecast anyway.

Morning. 6 deg and feels like 1. Dry and calm here.

Stay safe peeps
