This week I learned that there was a show called Den Store Strikkedyst (The Great Knit Off) a Danish knitting competition show in the vein of Great British Bake Off. Two episodes with English subtitles are on YouTube.
I love this knitter's reaction to being told she must speed knit for 30 minutes.
And as with GBBO, the presenter provides color commentary of the competitors.

G-mail assumes that "Amazon" refers to the company and not the river.
Had the back-to-work sads today. I wore some glittery bell bottoms and all was right in the world.
Just looked at my chem results for 2023. They did pretty well! Quite a few of them levelled up for their final exam. Only three 3s (SL) across a cohort of 96, all HL passed. Interested in the IA sample as all the 20+ scores were marked down by 2 or 3. Looking forward to the mark schemes too. #IBChemistry #Chemistry #Teaching #Results

Having hit the 20 years parenting experience milestone in 2023 it’s time to offer some advice to prospective parents…
Plant a lemon or lime tree about a year or two before you’re planning to start a family. Because citrus look after themselves and you won’t be gardening again any time soon. And you’re going to need more gin & tonics than you can imagine to get your kid(s) successfully to adulthood.

I'm absurdly excited to learn that 2024 = 2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³.
...and it's because:
2025 = 45², and
45 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9, and
\( 1 + \cdots + n \)^2 = 1^3 + \cdots + n^3 !

Every year, Germans watch a senile #British woman force her #butler to drink to access on New Year's Eve.
"Dinner for One" is a #comedy skit from 1963 that has become the most played television program in #Germany.
"The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?" ---
"The same procedure as every year, James."
Despite living in the future here in #Australia, I have not forgotten my roots 
Happy New Year!

Found a seller on Shoppee with vintage fountain pens.
"Pilot F Milano Fountain Pen (External Defects) 100% Genuine Pilot vintage Fountain Pen with zero usage history. Some imperfections like scars, scratches, and blemishes are visible in the photos. The fountain pen is fully functional and can be used for writing. A Pilot Ink Cartridge is included, while an Ink Converter is not included."
Various colours and scratches for 300 THB (about 13 AUD). They are tempting! https://shp.ee/8m1d7gd

Been holding off an illness for the last 3 weeks of term. First day away for the holidays, BOOM! Fever and congestion.
