Couldn’t agree more Gracie, but I think a lot of what we are feeling could be because we are finally coming to the end of a very long, cold and rather bleak winter. Enthusiasm picks up hugely for me when the sun begins to shine on a more regular basis and I don’t feel as if I’m eternally wading through the grey days. Here’s to splendid and unobscured sunlight!!
Happy Birthday to eldest A. Let’s give the number 21 some gravitas:
21 The number of spots on a standard die.
21 The name of a unique version of basketball, where every player plays on his own
team.
21 The atomic number of the element Scandium.
21 The name of an excellent drinking game.
21 The weight of a “soul” in grams, according to Duncan MacDougal, who tried to prove thatthe soul was a physical part of the body, with actual mass, by weighing dying
patients.
21 The age you can become an MP (not very useful fact).
21 The age you can apply to sell alcohol (very useful fact).
21 gun salute is fired for UK Royalty or US Presidents only and comes from the time when thelongest ships of the British Navy had 21 guns along one side.
21 The age that you can hold a licence to drive a Heavy Goods Vehicle ( that is a mini withme inside it)
21 The number of times I have to shave my legs a month because I couldn’t be bothered to wax when i was 21!!!.
……… in next blog find out a little bit more about the number 293 because that’s about how old I feel this morning after having had root canal treatment on Thursday.
