            OK, just a simple test to see whether I am on the right lines in setting clues: F

            a strange number or note and a song, but not in the garden in this cold weather.

                Very interesting mercia - but I had in mind something more simple and pleasing to the ear.

                  fair enough, I was going for the strange note part

                  I am assuming, rightly or wrongly, that there are three parts

                  1 - a strange number or note
                  2 - a song
                  3 - not in the garden in this weather

                  and that all three parts are the F word (so to speak)

                    Fibonacci?

                        Are there three parts to this, and if so, please could you clarify where the divisions are?

                          Fair-weather fibonaccists Nothing worse!!



                          I have no idea what I'm talking about.

                          Glad Odders is back, and that I've arrived to a thread recently cleared of E-numbers
                          "...the isle is full of noises,
                          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                            OK - to decompose:
                            1. A strange number
                            2. A note
                            3. A song, but not in the garden in this cold weather.

                              so a song about nice weather or a summer flower, perhaps

                              the sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip hooray

                              a classical song ?

                                A song, but not anything so hi-fallutin that you might hear on Radio 3.

                                In fact decidely lo-fallutin that you might hear on another radio station.
