Spring has finally arrived, and against all expectations it’s actually feeling quite Spring-like. The weather was mild enough today that I was able to sit outside to have my lunch, and walking home tonight the air was full of the scents of blossom. There’s even a few daffodils springing up amongst the weeds in our garden:
I’ve finished the cross-stitch, and now there’s just the backstitch and a few french knots to go! (which is not as close to finished as it sounds, though, because the backstitch is horribly fiddly – lots of lines that start in the middle of stitches and funny angles – so it’ll take me ages)
Final exam for Spanish tomorrow, so I’ve spent the week embroidering 🙂 Actually, I have been studying really, but I’ve done a bit of embroidery now and then when I’ve needed a break, and I managed to finish the last of the kittens (complete with progress photos, but no guessing game, seeing as I’ve given…

And I never had chickenpox as a child. Eeek!!! I’ve got a doctor’s appointment this morning – I’m hoping he’ll tell me I’m just being…

A possible solution to allimom’s maths problem: It’s a while since I’ve done matrices, so I may have forgotten some of the symbolic conventions, but I think what you’re being asked to prove is that is true for all values of n. n=0 and n=1 are trivial, of course. For n=2, Proof by induction involves…
