Many sheep at Edinburgh @mathsjam

Edinburgh @MathsJam is on Tuesday!!! Yes 22/7 so approximately π. Hamish thinks that is a rational day to choose. 7pm in the Brass Monkey on Drummond St (near Blackwells). See you there !

Nice topper on an interesting box. The cipher looks as if it was welded on #postboxsaturday @lbsg1976 @letterappsoc

We had 11 humans and five sheep

Saw these this week. Pretty unusual. #PostboxSaturday @lbsg1976 @letterappsoc

It is a rare Scottish Nigerian box. Made cheaply for export by Carron of Scotland the orders fell though so they were used over here. Made in two halves and welded together

A knitted hexagon made from light turquoise yarn with orange speckles, on the corner of a wooden table.

Knitted Hexagons on a wooden table. A folded turquoise and orange hexagon oh the left, joined at its right to a pale pink hexagon with grey and orange speckles. The latter is on the top of a stack of more knitted hexagons.

Two for one #mathartmarch - prompts 22 and 23 were hexagon and together so here's a knitted hexagon together with a stack of 11 more. They are joined together to make a scarf.

An unusual “homemade?” Post box in Yorkshire #PostboxSaturday @lbsg @letterappsoc

Happy Pi Day everyone. Eat 3.14 pies in celebration

Amazing day out at the #MathsInspiration talk in Bradford today! @sophiemacmaths.bsky.social, @mscroggs.co.uk, @sparksmaths.bsky.social, and Tom Crawford were incredible, so thank you so much 😁! Something I will remember for a long time.

Just editing a Plasma Physics journal paper and the authors have acknowledged a Stack Overflow user. I’m impressed
