Sunday Scribblings - "Invitation"
A big bed, soft - yet not so soft that it sags in the middle – and comfortable.
+
700-thread count cotton bedsheets with the ends tucked tightly under the mattress so that the surface is without a single wrinkle.
+
Three or four fluffy pillows filled with goose down (not feathers that can – and do - stick their sharp ends out and poke you painfully at random and in random places) and wearing butter-soft cotton covers, piled up at the head of the bed.
+
A big, soft fluffy duvet or comforter, also filled with goose down and wearing a cotton cover similar to that of the pillows.
+
An electric blanket.
+
A cold, wet, dark winter night.

I might not be good at conventional maths, but I DO know that all the above add up to an invitation to spend the evening in bed cuddled up with a good book, prior to sinking into blissful sleep...
THAT'S my kind of maths.

I don't like math but I do like your math. Sounds like a very good invitation!
Err - then why the ???
Sounds great:) Sadly, not a possibility in Chennai for oh so many reasons.
I'm with you on cuddling up with a good book... for me, it's also an invitation to pop in an old movie. Nice post!
mgirl: believe ME, I dont like maths either :)
ss: That ???? was for readers! I gave the answer because I didnt want anybody to come to a different conclusion :D
Teesu: For Chennai, the first requirement would be an Arctic-style air conditioner with the other things kinda toned down (no electric blankie reqd, for instance) :)
Nita Jo: For some reason I cant watch a movie in bed - I tend to fall asleep! :D
I would accept that invitation in a flash! Make my book a mystery. And make my nightgown soft flannel.
I'm reading this at 2am, and you've just persuaded me to go to bed! Nice post.
Ahh, now all I want is to snuggle up in bed and sleep. You convinced me. Good post! :)
Sounds like the kind of math you want running through your head late at night. Made me tired reading it.
Sounds perfect!
Lovely! And after a nice tramp around the countryside and a delicious dinner....heavenly bliss, indeed!
Perfect! Cold and rainy here today. Sounds so perfect!
Granny: Flannel is nice :)
Keith: 2 a.m! You cant have needed much persuasion :D
aki: Thanks :)
Pam: Too right!
B.Roan: Oh yes, it is. Sleep is such a blissful thing!
Kamini: Absolutely. That always helps :)
Tumnblewords: And here today. *sigh*
Yeah, it all adds up, but minus the electric blanket for me please!
Nice use of the prompt!
Yes, that is certainly an invitation to which I would respond mathematically affirmatively. :)
