I've been thinking about numbers. I really enjoy More or Less on Radio 4, which is all about how statistics are presented and whether statistics quoted in the media are true ( Read more... )

I feel like I say this every time I post, but I can't believe it's more than a week since I last did. It would appear that it's actually ten days.

It's certainly autumn now. 7am and there's only the beginning of light in the sky to the east.

11. Do you still take hot showers when it’s hot out?It's never so hot in this country to make a hot shower ( Read more... )

Goodness knows where the time goes. Suddenly it's almost mid-October. The leaves are visibly turning now and the other evening there was an evocative smell of bonfire smoke in the air.

6. Have you ever locked yourself out of your car?Yes, once. I arrived at a hotel in the Lake District and put the keys on the back shelf while I unloaded my case, ( Read more... )

There is a definite feeling of autumn in the air now. The leaves on the trees are beginning to show a tinge of brown, sunrise is later and sunset earlier, it's approaching the 'tentacles in and curl up in a ball' time of year.

I've been really busy for the last couple of weeks. If I've missed anything that I really should see, please do point me at the post. I also have quite a lot of catch-up to do on the meme, but to save your flists I'll just put it all behind a cut ( Read more... )

It's September! How did that happen? This year has just zipped by. And yet... and yet... there were times when it really seemed to drag at the time. *shakes head ( Read more... )

August is over, I feel autumn in the air. So I'm going through the last questions for the month.

24. Have you ever slammed the door when you were angry?
I don't remember doing so, but since I would have been storming OUT of a room and doors tend to open INTO rooms, the logistics are not usually very good for such gestures.

25. How old were you ( Read more... )

It was overcast and a little rainy over the weekend, with a sea fret hovering along the beach, but today we've got a return to glorious sunshine, I think. The forecast for today is certainly beautiful.

I am not sure where the last week went, but I suddenly realised how many days had passed. So...

17. Would you prefer hardwood flooring or carpet ( Read more... )

I didn't sleep well last night. I'm not sure why, but I think I maybe got two hours. This is going to be a very slow and lazy day. So I'll start it with the meme.

13. Did you ever hit anything while learning to drive?No. I've never hit anything with a car. I did drive one front wheel into a ditch on a corner in my first post-test week, but I didn' ( Read more... )
