Good Morning Class, do your worst! I have given up trying to mould you, aka Miss Jean Brodie!!! wink

How many squares can you see in the diagram?

A bonus teaser, since it's Friday.

Holes in the bottom, the left and the right, yet I still hold water with all my might.
What am I ?

Kalu, Puzzler, and Feelingmyage, ask the others for a share of the riddle cake. I hope they haven't scoffed it all.
If they have, my Millionaire's shortbread is just about ready. You can have a piece of that.

Feelingmyage ?

Feelingmyage, I never beat it now with a wooden spoon, I can't do it.
It sit the pot in the sink and put one whisk in my hand mixer and mix until it is thick. Foolproof!

I have just made the toffee for the shortbread in the microwave.

Thanks for the apples Miss. Pantglas your story about Farmer C and Auntie Bye is so funny.

Well, this is a very lovely picnic, I’m pleased that I didn’t wear my white gloves though.
I’m a trifle dusty but the cake was very edible.
I used to go to a different school but as money doesn’t grow on trees and Since Daddy’s ‘unfortunate fall from Grace’ , I’ve been sent here. I don’t know what Daddy fell off but I haven’t seen him since.
But today I almost climbed a tree thanks to Pants I didn’t want to, but she was very insistent and shoved me half way up, I’m only slightly bleeding and I’m sure my dress will be fine, eventually.
