Unexpected consequences of Coronavirus

There's even a rerun of the "best" episodes of "Loose Women" if you get desperate TG! (Not quite sure how they judge which are the best though.)  

One certain thing is that suddenly a lot more people understand and care about the word exponential.

If you're interested this is from a youtube channel I visit as much as CT.

As said here maths teachers won't get the usual when are ever going to use this in real life when drawing an exponential curve after this.

I would have to be very desperate M 

It is good to learn that these distressing times can bring the best out of some people.

Last week one of our neighbours kindly gave us a small worktop freezer to put in the garage, not for stockpiling but to enable us to make less trips for food.

Another neighbour who is a PE teacher holds Aerobic classes in the street every morning at 11:00. At first we were all a bit self conscious but now we look forward to our daily exercises in the street. Always observing the social distancing, obviously.

Another highlight of the week is at 8:00pm on Thursdays when we all go to the end of our drives and clap or hit a saucepan for the NHS. We take the opportunity to wave to neighbours that we would otherwise never see due to the lockdown.

Keep safe everyone.

My upto lately neglected model railway is getting some attention 

And i have had time to do a few posts on this site 

A neighbour has just had a new delivery of domestic oil. He paid £0.55  per litre in the autumn but has just paid £0.22 per litre. 

Artical in today's Telegraph. A team of archaeologists who would normally be on digs, have been pouring over Lidar images and found lots of interesting new stuff. Extract from artical in screen shot form, as my Telegraph App won't let me cut and paste.

I can’t get over how many folks are out and walking. It’s obviously something new to quite a few, but most are enjoying themselves. 

We haven’t filled our car up since early March, and it’s still got three quarters of a tank left. 

You are so right,  the footpaths in the woods and open fields  in this area are under far more "stress" and with the upsurge in mountain type bikes some of  the paths,are getting quite rutted and worn, and will need a lot of work done on them by the county council and volunteer groups
