Sunday
The Book Of Numbers p. 46-56: 10 pages.
I am loving this book which I chanced on in a car boot sale. Just got to number 9.
How's this for a mnemonic :
"how I need a drink, alchoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics."
A new one on me but I am going to try and make use of it sometime.
By the way it has nothing to do with number nine but is related to another number entirely.

Reading The Book Of Numbers led me to investigate the writings of Mike Keith which can be found here: http://www.cadaeic.net/cadenza.htm so Cadaeic Cadenzas: 4 pages.
(Or writings related to 4 numbers. )
