    My mother and my youngest brother used to squabble over which of them would do my maths and physics homework. I left them to it.

    In high school we used to give our poor Maths teacher hell. We were an all girl class and he was a bit of a nerd! Poor Mr. (Jimmy) Martin. When I look back now I realise he was only a young fellow...straight out of college, I think...and his introduction to the big, wide world of teaching was us!! I wonder if we caused him to alter his career path!! ;)

    If only...
    I was terrible at maths in school. Now, I'm pretty good at it. Late bloomer.
    Would have loved to have written this quote in the exam margins - would've got a fail, but probably a sly giggle from the examiner :)

    Elephant's Child; my dad used to tell me homework was unnecessary, they're supposed to teach me that stuff in school; I would say it's stuff we didn't get finished and he would come back with the teacher needs to plan better, school work is for school. I spent a good part of primary school not doing any, got a big shock when high school started.

    Lee; in my first high school year my math teacher was gorgeous! Tan, black hair, blue blue eyes and he knew how to teach too. Second high school year, that same man taught us science. I'll never forget him.

    Vicki; I couldn't make sense of Algebra once we got past the simple beginning stuff, but I loved geometry. The basic addition and subtraction, multiplication was always easy for me and came in handy at the checkout later.

    Mimsie; nice to see you back here. I think it's a great quote.

    I don't remember much homework from when I was at school, maybe I just didn't do it.

    Merle; I remember not doing much in primary school, so high school homework was a shock. In hindsight I could wish I'd done differently, but it doesn't really matter now.

dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?

Image
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought?  If yes, why buy it?  If no, then how was it stored in the home environment?  Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when  food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...

Sunday Selections # 790

Image
 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Starting this week with a "wish" who remembers cupping one of these in the palm of your hand, making a wish and then blowing it away? If it flew up and away your wish was supposed to come true. I dug around in the pot where I had planted pieces of a sprouting potato and came up with these tiny morsels, the coffee mug is for size reference. Did I already show this recently?  I bought a couple of "Heirloom" tomatoes fo...

  Welcome to 2026! I hope this is a good year for everyone, hopefully even better than last year. Try not to fall over folks, it's not fun.  🌞🎈🎉 Coming to you from sunny Australia, that big lump of land under the equator.  Sunday Selections will be continuing, hosted by me , participation is optional, if you can't manage every week for any reason, that's okay. Words for Wednesday will also be continuing, hosted by me , and again, participation is optional, play when you can, take a break when you need to.  Charlotte will be providing a colour for each month as she did last year, we try to use the colour somewhere in our posts, either photographing something with that colour or using it in another way. This month's colour is Carmine: Isn't that just gorgeous? And why is my text in two different sizes?
