Thursday – Bree Van De Kamp is a desperate housewife. In a way I think we all have a bit of the desperate housewife in us, even us unmarried men. I think it is the desperate bit, and maybe the house. homeless men just have the desperate part probably.
Good Friday- The UK has a space agency…wonder what on earth it does (or what in space it does). There are 11 species of wobbegong and the wobbegong started swimming about in the Jurassic period.
Saturday- When in a live sky sports football match is shown in the second half they scroll the teams across the bottom of the screen (this I already knew). What I discovered today is that players on a yellow card have their names helpfully written in yellow instead of white. Not sure whether this has always been so or whether this is a new thing. Also Randy Newman wrote “Miss you” about his 1st wife while married to his second.

Monday – Excitingly along with the vitamin D I am getting from the sunshine I also get 167% of my daily vitamin C requirement from one bottle of orange juice in the college canteen. Another spring thing I learnt is that spring moves 3 times faster in the US than in the UK (1 mile per hour in a northerly direction in the US).
Tuesday – I think I must have forgotten this but there is a tan rule that can be used for triangles (not as useful as the cosine and sine rule though).
Wednesday – When dating churches, holding digits against the window can help you date them. One thumb Norman (1000-1175), Index Finger Early English 1175 – 1275, three fingers (not little) Decorated (1275-1375) and the whole hand Perpendicular 1375-1575. Incidently in this case dating churches is not referring to taking them out for a nice candlelit meal.
Thursday – Jeans are stronger if the double stitching is in the inside leg. Also the pocket bags should be sewn into the inner hem if they are good quality. I also learnt what a pattern block was, my fashion awareness is growing stronger daily…
Friday (41st Birthday!) – Bakers Dolphin coaches have been in business before the invention of the coach, 130 years.
Saturday – Cafe Nero milano hot chocolate is now served in glasses.
Sunday – The cricket superstition that a nelson (111) is bad luck is possibly because the number has the appearance of wickets with the bails removed.

I only today realised the old nokia ring alert was morse code for SMS. I also learnt a bit about how trampolining competitions work, and that you can have 2 minutes bouncing around before you do your routine. Along with the existence of akinator.com* it has been a successful day…
