Update

There is now also a vat of Blackberry, Apple and Vanilla jelly being strained in the kitchen (before the sugar is added and boiling commences, to turn it into actual jelly).  And the starter for alcoholic Ginger Beer, brewing in the kitchen.  Mother isn't too happy about this one. (Yes, during University holidays I'm living with my parents. They don't usually object to my cooking escapades too much - especially when they get something edible out of it. However if I use up all the sugar/butter etc... and then create something inedible, they become pretty peeved.) 

I really should do some maths now... I do enjoy doing maths, but only when I can understand it. Not that I don't understand my current maths, it's just that it's not as simple as it used to be... which is probably why I procrastinate and cook.  It's the difference between understanding the maths enough to be able to answer a question about it, and understanding it enough to be able to really do something with it...  It generally takes me about two years between being taught the maths to reaching the stage of "understanding what you can really do with it".  Looks like I need to speed up. 

Wishing you all a lovely evening,  L
