In praise of ...

... Vic Hillier


He writes books, specifically "Hillier's Fundamentals of Motor Vehicle Technology" (multiple volumes). I am currently on Book 1, page 45. Today's lesson; torque and power, and single and multi-cylinder engines. Being the saddo learning Goddess that I am, multiple colour highlighters have been recruited and I am slavishly writing notes in my old school exercise book with my fountain pen. Because I'm cool. Yeah.
Except I'm not that cool because yesterday I had a mega-maths-super-fail.
I got confused about where the '+1' came from. My maths learning really is that bad. Apparently, according to Kellett, when you divide anything by itself it is always 1. I believe him. Until evidence proves otherwise.
Apart from that, all learning has been going well. May have to get me an old Maths GCSE revision book. Yes. Good idea. Shall do that.
Oh yes, back to the book. It's my favourite. That's all.


Happy Millie?
