I’m curating an exhibition of Mathematical Art at the Australian Mathematical Society meeting in December. If you’re coming to the meeting and you create art with mathematics, please think about being involved. More information to appear at the conference website.

Ms 18 has discovered crochet, and now there is some hope that my stash of yarn (supplemented by my mother's) will one day be small enough for the designated storage space.

Ms 21 has passed the final semester of her course (results came today) and her driving test this morning. She has a job for next year. Do I get something? Apart from satisfaction and a bit of relief??

Apparently there’s also silo art in North Geelong, and I will definitely change the route I use when visiting my father there to check it out. Mum liked country cemetery side quests, and now I seem to have found mine….

There’s silo art off the main trails! This one is in Brunswick. Yes, that’s the former NZ Prime Minister in inner suburbs of Melbourne.

I helped with a community art project for Christmas and there were so many left over polar fleece scraps destined for landfill that I had no unvent polar fleece tinsel.
