Giraffe Move Pattern

 This is a differently coloured and enlarged version of the Giraffe Move Pattern that I published here in 2021. It shows the successive cells reached from the centre cell in successive numbers of Giraffe {1,4} moves. The colouring is still based on the rainbow sequence, but achieves more contrast between areas, with the orange and yellow areas coming between the darker areas. Is it too fanciful to imagine it as an architectural plan of some ancient temple?

It would be interesting to expand the pattern outwards further, repeating the colour sequence, so black cells wold represent 9, red cells 10 and so on, but this is close to the limits of my drawing programme..   

More Demolition at the Bus Station

 I seem to have missed a month. I've been busy updating my website pages dealing with Knight's Tours on Shaped and Holey Boards. This was stimulated by new enumerations of 11-cell and 14-cell tours sent to me by Andrew Usher from the US. I've found it rather laborious, partly because I'm experiencing eye strain, and have to ration the time I spend online, to avoid getting a headache. 

There have also been developments concerning magic queen tours on odd-sided boards. This is in work by Walter Trump in Germany. I suppose I will have to update the magic tour pages next.

Meanwhile in Crewe town centre work on clearing the site for the Bus Station is under way very slowly.

Beautiful blue sky today and cool in the shade, 

but I'm not looking forward to the heat wave forecast for next week.

Demolition work now complete (4 September 2022). Fortunately three trees along Delamere Street have survived the devastation so far.
