For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Some of you may know that I play piano.

From the New Year, I’ll be releasing my own instrumental music from a variety of genres.

In the meantime, my piano cover of Over the Rainbow is available on music streaming services now.

I really hope this doesn’t turn into another global pandemic. Hopefully WHO can identify & contain the cause. If we have learned anything from COVID it should be that early action can make a huge difference. RFK, Oz, and other health nominees give me way less hope 😬
