Rabbits and stuff.
So I was just googling to find the new Emily Gravett book when I discovered that the Rabbit Problem is an Actual Mathematical Thing. It's something to do with the Fibbonacci series, apparently.

We have blackberry bushes at the back of the garden, which was one of the reasons I wanted to live here. I picked a big tub full of them today, and I'm debating whether to make pie (URGH TOO LAZY TO MAKE PASTRY) or crumble (BUT PIE IS SO MUCH TASTIER). Flora and Barley helped me by snuffling around my feet for ones that I dropped. Thanks, girls.

Finally, I ventured to the supermarket with Matt today. I managed to drive there, which is a massive improvement, although my ankle was twinging by the time we got there. (It's only about a 10 minute drive, tops.) As we were leaving, I saw a (regular) borrower, who was most concerned by my crutches. It's always a bit odd seeing borrowers when you're not at work, but she's one of the really nice ones, so it was ok.

	Three words: ready-made pastry. *SCHLORP* (Reply to this) (Thread)

	NO! EVIL! The only kind of ready-made I will tolerate is puff pastry, because honestly, who has to time to be fannying about with that? I am just being Lazy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You tragically left out what kind of pie or what kind of crumble. This affects my answer. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	NEVER MIND I CAN'T READ. Also, crumble. Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I neglected to mention that it will be blackberry and apple. I'm sure there's a technology related joke in there, but I can't be arsed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Blackberries and apples are my two favorite pie fruits. Never had I even dreamed of putting them together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh wow, I honestly didn't realise it's a British thing. You have to let the apples fall for a bit in a pan first, then you mix in the blackberries and stick it in the pastry/ put cumble on top and bake it all together. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My Mathsdar must be on the blink, big-style. How have I missed this for three days?! Yup, the Fibonacci series and rabbits go together like peas and carrots. Ossum. (Reply to this) (Thread)
