Forgot to put in a maths problem - how about this:
I'm thinking of a number less than 4000. It is divisible by all the whole numbers from 2 to 12 inclusive, except for two of them, which are consecutive. What is the number?

It's just been too long since I posted so probably everyone's given up reading my blog (sorry to both of you....). As for the Maths, I'm just tutoring A-level and GCSE at the moment; enjoyed brushing up my C3 and C4 (Pure Maths), and a bit of a crash course in D1 (Decision Maths)...! Also helping a young lad with preparation for scholarship to a top public school - which is surprisingly challenging as every question has an unusual twist to it!
Francais...en fin Mai nous allons en France pour le mariage d'un ami, qui prend place a une maison communautaire de la Communaute du Chemin Neuf (Tigery). Il est africain, elle est francaise. Il y aura beaucoup de personnes la, venant d'un peu partout. Je posterai tout de suite apres, avec des photos!
Music - since I last posted I've spent a lot of time learning the Pathetique Sonata, and a Chopin Etude in C minor with a crazy left hand. Also while clearing out some old stuff came across some cassettes with some of my favoutites from 30 years ago - Fats Waller, Barry White (!) and Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye. Memory lane.
The other day, as John mentioned on his blog, we went on a family bike ride along the canal which was thoroughly enjoyable and totally healthy!
