What I did at school (well, college) today...
I’m about to get mathsy. (It’s my most creative thing so far today… )
On Monday I attempted to prove a result for my double mathematicians. In haste I miscopied an equation from the textbook. In the general scheme of things this wasn’t that important – it didn’t interfere with what I was trying to show. However one student spotted it, and was determined to sort out exactly what had happened. Eventually I conceded defeat (and chocolate – this kind of challenge – followed up with hard work – is exactly what I want).
However, when I got home, it suddenly struck me that maybe I’d been right after all. And I was 
. A quick scribble (yes, on the back of an envelope – this is the ‘written up neatly’ version) and I was happy. I may just have been a little too persistent in reminding them all that I was right…
(click to embiggen and enjoy its full glory).
And now, because you’ve been such good girls and boys – here’s a little treat:
Isn’t that delicious? It’s a merino/silk blend from The Yarn Gallery. (Blogless, but on Ravelry) Cybil kindly invited a pile of us over to her beautiful house for a ‘mutual spinning support’ session on Sunday. And there she treated us with the opportunity to pet all sorts of goodies. Mostly I was happy to coo and sniff and give back, but when I saw her Yarn Gallery tops I was smitten. So I had to buy some for myself – they arrived today.
But I’m not going to touch it until I’ve finished with the stuff I’ve already started. (I did another skein yesterday – 2 down, 8 to go – I hope – I’m very scared that I’m going to run out… )
