    I think the multiplying it by 30.4167 gave that away...

    Though it should be 30.4375, as you're not taking into account leap years... :p
    Surely the latter should only actually be applied in leap years? In which case it's probably wrong, not that I can work it out :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Extremely, wonderfully, overwhelmingly good news on the health front: whereas I only expected to regain my health by, say, next spring, I'm already 90% of the way there :j:j:j I'm still likely to be the one that tires first, but I haven't had to hold back from anything anyone else has done :j

    So I can already say that retiring was the best decision I've made in a long, long time :j

    Just caught up on all the past fortnight's posts - and the above is the best post ever :kisses3:

    Well 30.4167 should be applied in normal years, 30.5 in leap years, or you can use 30.4375 which will average out over the 4 yearly cycle. I've not taken into account the "once in 400 years it's not a leap year" as the last one happened in 2000, so the next is not due until the year 2400 at which time I will be far too rich to bother.





    Or dead. That was the other possibility...

    Aw, thank you greent :kisses3: it's really been an eye opener.

    I've been doing more transferring of phone notes to the right computer documents - it's actually a couple of years worth :o:o:o when I felt too ill to be sitting up at the desk but wanted to make a note of something. At least I had my phone to do it, and its a simple matter to transfer. It gives my writing career a great leg up too, which is why I'm doing it - lots of things going on :D.

    A cloudless sky is also going on :j so I'm heading off for a bit of a snack and then ta da, off into the garden :j



    Z ... words fail me :rotfl: but I can confirm that thanks to the beauty of compound interest, I will indeed be too rich to bother with spreadsheets in the year 2400 :T

    Yep, tis going well :j and if I can keep on being rejuvenated in a science-fictiony way, cloned bodyparts grown in a lab etc :p I have no objection to being around till 2400 :cool:

    Yesterday evening went well too, thankfully - tho I can't remember the last time I had a glass of wine, so even one big glass has done for me a bit :o still, it was lovely to meet the daughter of the house again, and when she'd left to go home, to talk with our bereaved friend about his situation, the past and the future both. No board games were played :eek::eek::eek: too much yakking going on :D

    Today ... I have a list. I absolutely need to check the banking, and there are several other things I need to do too. How many of them will get done, when the sky is so blue? I don't know :p I'll find out soon :p

    Indeed, Z, I think that's a prerequisite :D bad Frankenstein offshoots come to mind :D

    To-do list not bad at all:
    - checked finances, current account low but good enough for now.
    - washing machine on twice, plus d/washer.
    - backed up the computer, after all those notes transferred onto it.
    - walkies at lunchtime, yay, past the village pond with a plastic crocodile head sunning itself :D
    - 3 phone calls - all social, oh my, what a life :T
    - an hour in the garden too, pruning the dratted ivy, doused myself in crap from the leaves, ivy really doesn't seem a nice plant to have around. Its not rooted in my garden, it just invades it, however, so not my decision.
