"One day everyone will wear a smart watch", said Tom futuristically.
Tom talked candidly about his work as a confectioner.
At the gates of heaven
I suppose I'll be asked to show my papers.
If they are not all in order
I'll be sent to a transit camp
Or even deported to you know where.
You used to be so proud of that rose bush
Now just a few blooms straggle across the garden fence
A fading memory.
The cliff was way off.
Listening to an old song of love
From before the time we were born
I breathed your scent again
For a short moment.
When I was a kid we had a bat that roosted in the family motor. We used to call it our flying car pet.
TWO AND TWO MAKE FIVE!!
I went to an art exhibition the other day. The paintings were by a famous French Impressionist. Suddenly I was seized by the strangest feeling that I had been in this same room before and all these picture of ballet dancers, racehorses, circus performers, and so on, were very familiar to me. It was a case of Degas Vu.
But so was yesterday.
Watching old prisoner of war movies. Is it just escapism?
In our Prison Yard
The birds sing
Only of hope.
Too apt? (6, 6)
It's no good just to warn, we need to fight.
For when the harm's been done, who then cares we were right?
I had a job
I didn't know this lovely puzzle until I stumbled across today it on the estimable Numberphile YouTube channel.
A mouse is swimming in a round pond. A cat circles the pond, but won't enter the water. This is my drawing, I think I have a better cat than Numerfile TBH.
If the mouse reaches the shore and is not intercepted by the cat at that point, it can run quickly and escape the cat. The cat can run 4 times faster than the mouse can swim.
Can the mouse always escape if it follows the right strategy?
The answer is presented by Numberphile in a really illuminating way. Just Google Numerphile Game of Cat and Mouse.
