for the time being

Your faith is greater than mine.

It is.

I'll believe it when I see it           

Closest I've been to a pilgrimage is going to Glastonbury, the place, not the festival. Went to the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey. I went alone rather than part of a group. Abbey said to have been founded by Joseph of Arimathea. Area associated with the legend of King Arthur. I certainly felt the power from the place

Somebody I knew drove me to Edinburgh once. I' m Greater Glasgow. Speedo off - all rev counter. 250 SL

Took me a long time to realize he was clocking that.

Years ago I went for the longest car drive I've ever done in a single day. Gloucester to Belper to Edinburgh to Glasgow and back to Gloucester. That's around 770 miles.

Obviously I took breaks particularly on the way back.

Won't do that again.

Nighty night, sleep well, sweet dreams each and everyone

Good morning everyone it's another mostly dry and cloudy day. I hope you manage to get your computer sorted quickly EL.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Rained here last night, very cloudy, much milder than last week, more rain or showers forecast.

Thanks Squiggle re my computer . They didn't give me a date but they had the replacement items in so I would expect to hear this week.

I hope  everyone has a good day

my enhanced maths puzzle based on a question in last night's University Challenge.

Which of these numbers in the sequence 25, 26, 27 and 28 is not perfect?
Very unlikely that there are any other sequences of 4 numbers for which this is the case..
Not a trick question and doesn't require a maths degree.

27 is the only number divisible by 3?

True but you can say that for other series of numbers such as 20, 21, 22 and 23.
The sequence of 25, 26, 27 and 28 is probably unique.

There is a clue in my question - one of the words in particular.

Watched a bit of Mastermind last night. One of the contestants had the rare first name of Thisbe.
There's the Greek tragic myth of Pyramus and Thisbe which is the play within a play in A Midsummer's Dream which is the best known Thisbe.

28?

Good afternoon everyone

The weather forecast here is for sunny intervals changing to cloudy by lunchtime. A high of 10 degrees expected

I have just been out to feed Baby Cyril, the birds still have plenty of feed in their feeder. It actually doesn’t feel that cold even with a breeze. The sun is popping in and out

Have a good day everyone

I won't say if you are right as you haven't said why you think 28.

I mentioned that there was a clue in my question - that's the word perfect. 3 of the numbers are perfect in differing ways which leaves the other not perfect.

Okay

The poem I mentioned the other day:

This notebook isn't letting me put line returns at the end of each verse in the poem - 4 verses of 4 lines and it won't let me put a line return at the end of the poem and my answer.

Evening all

It has been raining today.

El, you know me and numbers, I’m worse than useless

Fingers crossed your computer is sorted soon.

Baby Cyril seems to have adopted your garden as his local takeaway, Moonie

Summer will have had quite a few pancakes...of that we can be certain

I hope everyone has had a good day

Hi Yogi

Its raining here too. Still at least is warmer if wetter

I hope there will be the pitter patter of little paws soon

He is a little terror. He took on a large pigeon and a magpie the other day and still got his way

My day has been good fankoo. I hope yours has too

Hi Moonie

As you say, it might be wetter but it is milder

The pitter patter of little paws?
Haha, sounds like Cyril is a feisty one

My day has been fine, thanks

Hiya

There have been several squirrels about. Baby Cyril and a smaller one at the same, so that could be a female

I‘m glad you had a good day

Yogi, have your blackbirds been back to see you of late?

They were about a lot during the snowy weather but I haven’t seen them today. The male is just as tame as ever and looks in the kitchen window but the female seems a bit more timid. She’s braver in the summer when she wants raisins for her chicks.

Hopefully

I’m glad you had a lot of visits during the snowy weather

The male probably realises you won’t hurt him that why he comes and has a look in the kitchen window

She is a good mum if she come for raisins to feed here chicks 😀

They are both brilliant parents and visit my garden constantly when they are feeding young.
