I managed to get the lawns mown this afternoon… They really really needed doing. They would have coped for another week, but only just. The rain has brought on a growth spirt for the grass – and it will be insteresting to see how much grass grows in the next week…

A friend of my brothers runs the Geek-Girl Web Site. She tutors math students at the Uni of NSW after deciding not to complete her PhD in pure maths. The FAQ for the page has a strange question that I would never have expected to see on a math tutoring site.

“Do I get discounts on salsa lessons?
Yes. geek girl students receive discounts off courses, privates and casual lessons in salsa, tango or bellydance through El Bailongo. Please enquire for details. “

I must say this is an interesting business plan – to teach math as well as salsa, tango, and Bellydance. Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bart and Martin Price are teaching each other how to be better people. Martin was reading a math book wrapped in a comic book. Bart was reading a comic book wrapped in a math book.
