More Mosaic
Today we grouted the little test pieces of mosaic Mum and I were playing with:
They haven’t quite finished drying yet, so they haven’t been polished.

I am deep in the throes of data modelling, trying to find a statistical model that adequately describes my data so that I can produce some results to write about in my thesis. In practical terms, what this means is feeding the computer my data plus a long equation that contains all of the factors…
