How are you feeling? How is your hip? I can't help but think that you must have a mind that is capable of math if you can sew, cross stitch, paint, and knit. I was a math tutor for a long time. Everyone I ever helped believed they were bad at math and ended up being quite able to excel in the subject.
ReplyDeleteFascinating to read snippets from a person's life. I wonder what will pop into your mind next! Do keep going.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter-in-law is a maths teacher, Marshamlow, and she finds she's treated with so much respect because of it! So many people are quite scared of numbers.
