add 16 (8×2)
that’s thirty
add 32 (16×2)
that’s sixty-two
I have a hunch you excursion into the mathematical realm of series is connected to your diving into the grammatical intricacies of tenses and mode in the conjugation of French verbs 🙂
X 0 X [ the odd anachronistic yoking of Romuan numerals and Arabic zero ] to signify best wishes for carrying the joyous energy of the many twos and fives into the future beyond the thirties into the sixties !!!

Jill
Hm, I don’t *think* I was in Leicester on my 29th birthday. No, I don’t think I’ve *ever* been in Leicester. Sorry!
