The email about the pavement photo did indeed come from David Bailey, a tessellation fanatic in Grimsby of all places. (Hull, where we ‘live’, is just across the Humber from Grimsby). We have exchanged a number of emails now, the upshot of it all being I have tried to enlist the help of the students at school to find the tessellation in a number of locations and asked a tour guide to help out with the questions. David would like me to measure the tessellation as well. Thursday is a public holiday (Army Day) so I will try and get it done then. Eventually he will write a paper on it for one of the mathematical journals!
As part or her English homework Maddy had to design a web page . . . . . When I showed her a site for writing your own free web site on she has got a little carried away and has spent a lot of time working on something for her favourite game, Dragon Age’. Eventually she will publish it so everyone can see her master piece. At present she is out with Louisa enjoying a birthday lunch, a tour of the coffee shops on Road 9 and maybe a trip to the cinema as part of her weekend birthday celebrations that will continue until Monday!
Geoff also spent some time at Road 9 today, 90 minutes at the dentist! One of his teeth is cracked so last week he went and had the filling removed. Today he had the root removed and in 3 weeks time (when the dentist gets back) he will get the tooth rebuilt. All in all it is costing him £120, I am sure it would be much more in the UK and am grateful we are here. If the work goes well I am considering check-ups for Maddison and myself as we haven’t been since before we left St. Helena.
