Notifications are still going for a hike. Stalingrad perhaps?
Not much fun in Stalingrad, no.
You need the A361, Barnstaple section....

I'd love to know how those figures were obtained.
I got my 1890 'low 90' courtesy of a tip off from Mike Hopkins, a rather nice humorous gentleman ( "1949 Threepence" )
who frequented this site until we lost him a couple of years ago.
I wish we'd met.

I had a bottle of benzene as a child for showing watermarks on stamps.

Those HEIC files are a pain- and I only use a Mac!
People don't set phone pictures to formats other people like.
Size problems on posting pictures is an easy fix- email to to yourself, setting the image size you need, then drag out of the email you receive into your post.
That's all I've ever done- no extra programs needed either.

Maybe it's me, but it's only a short time ago that members were talking of the lack of activity on the forum,
as if it was stagnating, and now we have a pile of new members turn up recently.....good to see....

I wonder if there is, by the slimmest of chances, anyone on this forum who knows where Citrus Australasica, the 'finger lime' or 'caviar lime' is a native species?
I wonder.....!
Brisbane iswghere it;s from, by coincidence.
Your soil looks good there John.
I have some Ceasalpinia and some Delonix seedlings growing to try again- left over seeds from the batch you sent me!

I remember Terry Wogan interviewing her in a right obsequious manner and she wasn't having any of it. She was terrific!

Thank you Mr.Zappa.

I've just read that there's a Yellow Ice Warning in place for the UK.
Sounds revolting.

From the other direction
Turmeric, Delonix regia ( from old seeds from John), delicate hibiscus etc.
I got fed up with my dark garden so I've done something about it!!
..and in the top pic you can just make out the yellowing fronds of a very old, very small jacaranda.
Like most tropical flowering trees, they should only be grown for their lovely foliage here in the UK- they just will not flower in a pot.
In the spring I am going to plant a Caesalpinia Gilliesii and a Citrus Australasica outside,
against the shiny fence in the sheltered corner, where I can give them their own little greenhouse for the winter.

Kemi Badenoch says I should resign.
Why me? i don’t know what I’m supposed to have done.
Maybe I left a knife in the fork drawer or something…

This is what my garden looks like in the cold and damp!!
Cycad, Musa, Echium, Canna, Hedychium all wrapped up.
Soil heaters in the pots if it gets very cold.
I fit a translucent tarp across the veranda, and we get a small room full of plants to play cards in in the winter!
Lemon/lime cross full of fruit this year- gonna do some lime pickle....!!

If the die iswhole, and held in a collar, there can only be one axis of rotation, the centre.
All details will be affected, and all doubling will show the direction of die rotation to the same extent.
This is not what is happening to this 1967 date. The doubling of the 6 is on the die!!!!!!!!!!
-
I still don't get it.
If the die moves, all the coin is affected.
If the die is held and can only rotate, then the effect is geater near the edge.
Surely this is the case?
So a doubling of just the date can't be down to the die moving- the doubling is already on the die...?????
