1 I loved this George Bernard Shaw quotation and its illustration sent by a friend – just keep on playing!
2 I was reminded of the delights of the 9 times table today. I am intrigued by the patterns made by the numbers and the way all the ‘answers’ add up to 9. Simple fun! I bet there are some mathematicians out there who know even more of the magic of the nine. Do tell me!
The magic nine times table
3 I’ve brought a little sunshine indoors in the shape of a pot of miniature daffodils, the delightful Tete à Tete:

I’m putting the quote on my fridge. And I wish I’d know that about the nine times when I was learning it.

Yes, it certainly helps the learning – and is so simple to remember which suits me! 🙂

Haven’t seen that quote for along time, I had forgotten how good it is. When I was teaching junior kids I used to get them to play with the 9 times table – so many patterns.

just seemed like something fancy to me when I read of… or saw one in a movie… the S shaped couch… facing together… seemed so romantic!

Playful indeed, is the secret. We all know it, just forget to practice.
Ah, no more incessant grey, ‘nothing but blue skies do I see’. Comes down to mind over matter. If nature doesn’t cooperate, then ‘tête à tête amoureu , for love of living in sunshine, the kind you bring indoors to fight the drab outdoors.
Thank you again for your comments this morning.
