I tried asking ChatGPT 4o to decode that, and it couldn't quite manage it.

I’d have got it wrong; I assumed way = rd!

Lovely. That should be the standard way to obscure email addresses.

A friend of mine is a Greenaway which is also quite a rare name. Slightly etymologically connected, if not genealogically.

So how's everyone doing?
I've got bloomin' loads to do at work. Haven't managed to look in here for a while.

Well I'm okay, apart from a week's pretty horrible toothache. My work is kinda chill - I feel a bit underemployed at times. But it's partly because I'm doing stuff that generates work for others, and then I have to wait for them to do it before I can do my next bit. I definitely get more done when I'm at the end of a chain like that than in the middle. Out of work, I want to enter Grant Sanderson's Summer of Math Exposition competition this year, and I've co-opted Raak as maths consultant. Deadline for that is mid-late August so I've still got weeks to go. I think/hope the work is in the last 10% (the part that takes 90% of the time) but... we'll see.

[SM] Did you get my answer suggesting that the Collatz jelly has fallen off the wall again? :) I just noticed I sent it to the zen[randomnumbers] address instead of your readable email.
