@RetirementTales When I was teaching, there was a politically correct sweep of the library and all the Pirate books were sent to the skip. I rescued them and hid them at the back of the bookcase in my classroom. Some of my poor readers loved them, when they were told they had been banned.

• MPs’ Menu in Parliament: “Pressed duck leg and caper terrine with celeriac & mustard remoulade
& sour dough toast” — Cost: £4.52 (subsidised by you).
• NHS Staff Menu in Hospital: “Macaroni Cheese” — Cost: £7.25 (paid by NHS nurses).

The Queens Platinum Jubilee Celebration. This so reminds me of my drumming in the #BoysBrigade Days (Birmingham 1st A). We always tried to take the drums to church, even when marching live on a Sunday around #Newtown, Birmingham. A little jazz & Caribbean tempo was thrown in too.
Easter Sunday.
Jesus is risen from the dead! Hallelujah!
Today, we celebrate that life has overcome death.
We celebrate that the love of God always wins.
We celebrate that God performs miracles.
A day to praise our risen Saviour!

Mathematics and mystery.
A mathematician emerges from a cave, hands you the the slip of paper below, and says "Please enjoy this right-triangle for which a² + b² = c²."
A cool wind blows, and the ground seems to tremble. How do you respond?
