More from Pythagoras....

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a good, new week . The weekend flew by, but I did get a few things done, when not exactly much! And I'm happy to say that Heike was well enough for us to go to our favourite place, Pizzeria Roma, and yes - it was good!

Today I have a new piece for my geometric shapes challenge at AJJ, once again with a quote from Pythagoras;

And another Pythagoras joke:

Why was Pythagoras not considered a suspect in murder case?
He knew what his angle was.

And a photo of Heike taken at our fave place today:


And some funnies, thinkies and some pics from David Zinn:







I won't be able to join in Elizabeth's TsfT today, I have too much to do:


Have a great week, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Another week has raced by and now it's weekend. I have no appointments so I can do what I want , and that's the way I like it! 

I have another piece for my challenge at AJJ. The background was made with my gelli plate, and the rest is just a mix of blue objects and one of my heads. For those who don't know, I have a lot of heads, all made from paper....

Some photos from the Rhine and from my balcony:









These photos have not been coloured, we just had a strange light on that evening:






Part of a painting I am working on. What is it? Your guess is as good as mine!

 






Have a great weekend, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

Pythagoras

 Hi Everybody!

I think those who don't like geometry will shudder at today's post, which features Pythagoras. He was a mathematician and philosopher in ancient Greece. Many students still have to learn his famous theorem, whether they want to or not....Here it is:


And a pythagoras joke:

I met one of my beautiful Maths teachers yesterday

We greeted and she asked me directions to the State Bank of India. I told her make a 299 degrees turn and walk for 290 meters, then subtend the angle of X using Pythagoras Theorem and round it up to the nearest degree using tan ∆. From that point, draw a parabolic curve and walk 342 meters on its major axis and bisect the straight road at an obtuse angle. That's where the bank is.

Let her feel what I felt when I was in school.

I used to like geometry  and algebra etc at school, but these days I use the calculator in my phone....

This isn't me, but I love what she's saying:


I just had to go for a cappuccino this morning after my appontment at the doc's, I NEEDED it:



At the Rhine it was cold, grey and wet:




And I have some more pics from David Zinn:








There are lots of faces, so I will be linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF on Friday.

Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

Yet another geometric shapes page

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all doing well. This week has got off to flying start - time is flying and I'm running behind it. Today I have another piece for my geometric shapes challenge, hope you like it:

(I used lots of stencils here)



And I also have another tag for Sandie's anything goes challenge at Tag Tuesday:


This is one of my drawings fcrom the 1990s!

A few of my coffee mugs:



I wish you SUCH a wonderful day:


And more from David Zinn:




Here David is taking a rest and his little creatures are cooking for him:




Can you think of a caption for this Kitty?


Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
