I'm admittedly pretty bad at math, but I did recognize that the thing was a part of a circle and was able to pretty much figure it out from there. Pretty neat pattern!

Hello dd, a very <happy to see you also Zenhug>. As you said, it's hard to keep up here, and I read that you haven't been welll - I hope that your recovery will be complete, even though it may seem to be taking a long time. Glad to read that you are taking it easy, and being spoiled by your partner, who sounds like a wonderful caring person. :-)

I was offline for a very long time, only recently come back to GoG and this thread. Moved house and country last year, it all took a long time and a lot of money, and it's not easy trying to start over, although kind friends have helped. Sadly the internet connection here is slow and very expensive, so I'm usually only around in the free night time session, which ends a few hours before most people are online. But luckily for me Crow is usually here, and often also superstande, so I do have friendly people to chat to. <big smile>

Hope you slept well, and wake refreshed and happy.

Hello Crow, it always makes me happy to see you have turned green. I wouldn't be surprised at all if you were reading my mind, that eye of yours seems to see into everything. ;-) I'm afraid, very afraid...

I didn't see your post until the one I wrote to dd showed up, and then your post and zeo's appeared out of the mist.

Sorry to hear that the food wasn't so good - in my experience most food like that benefits from long slow cooking, but I gather you didn't have that option.
Hope you do get a good night's rest, and that it helps to hit the cold on the head once and for all.

It's raining harder now, been raining softly all night, wonderful to hear the raindrops falling on the leaves. Very qyuet here, just the odd bird chirp and occasionally the frog sound of the hadedas grazing - some of them are shrieking but far away. Lovely morning.


Hi again, zeo, for once I'm still here, haven't faded away slowly, leaving only a smile behind. :-)

Glad you liked it, even if math isn't your thing. That's a good site for puzzles. Hope all is well in your beautiful part of the world.

Hadedas? So you're in Africa, then? Neat.

I am indeed. Surrounded by huge trees welcoming the rain that has finally come to break a very long drought.

Hadedas - I call them the Mordor birds, make cute little frog noises when they are grazing. Crow says they are telling their friends that there is plenty of food here, and he should know. ;-)

Best that they stay on the ground, the noise they make when flying is not one you want to hear except in your nightmares.

I made a fresh pot of coffee to share with Crow, but I fear he has gone. Would you like some, or are you a tea person? I can offer you rooibos tea, very healthy and tasty also.

-laughs- =)

Thankfully the posts showed up at all. Way too much spinning circle, "the stuff's kinda loading but very slowly" junk.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it would have been better if the recipe had been kept to. But the person wanted it done a certain way, so all I could do was try to help and salvage things a bit.

That sounds fantastic. Definitely one of the best mornings possible, right there. =)

Hi again, Crow, happy that you're still here. Forum is indeed very slow and spinning a lot, not fun. Even with my downloader off it's not working well.

Your friend is lucky you were there to help. Without you I'm sure it would have been a disaster.

Sharing coffee with you - the morning is now even better. :-)

Yes, still here. My internet decided it didn't want to work for a few minutes. Figuring someone's working on the system, they like to do that without telling the customers beforehand.

Without me there, it would have been cooked to inedible oblivion. They turned the machine on high without realizing it...

Yes, coffee with a friend is certainly preferable to having some by yourself. =)

Mordor birds?

Sorry I disappeared without a word, Firefox crashed on me (too many open tabs, I fear). Just diving back in to say goodbye, as my free time is over. Take care, have a good evening / day.

I'm sorry, but the only kind of spam we accept here is:

Morning! I'm half asleep today but so is my computer so I guess it's somewhat contagious.

*hugs and waves*

Good morning!

*hugs with assorted hot beverages*

Good mooooooorning Fred!
I'm off to teach grandpas how to use their tablets. I'll be seeing you all later on.
Oh, spam! Delicious grammar massacred, almost unintelligible spam about buying weapons.
If I can buy a telluric scythe of internet ball-cutting +3, I'm game.
