FYI – Using these slides

Initially, each slide just shows the date (in the title) and a pair if dice

When you click on the slide:• Random numbers display for about 3 secs and then the ‘score’ is

automatically displayed• If the score is high (4,5 or 6) the harvest is good – and, 2 sec later,

a picture of a sunny field automatically appears• If the score is low (1, 2 or 3) the harvest is poor – and, 2 sec later,

a rainy picture automatically appears• If you get a run of poor harvests, the picture gets worse and worse

When you are ready, click on the slide to move onto the next year
