Fancy moving maps.

I have just attended a lunchtime seminar on GI Mapping. That is Geographical Information Mapping, for the uninitiated, the idea is that statistics can be overlaid on a map down to council ward level, and then geographic/demographic etc trends spotted.

It's even more fun when the maps are animated to show the passage of time.

What could have been a very interesting seminar was snafued by the fact that the air conditioning wasn't on, so I came close to dozing off on a couple of occasions. Next time I shall take my carpet slippers, a pillow and a blanky.

Despite wandeing out for a blast of fresh air directly afterwards, I am difficulty staying awake.

Still, it's Thursday and although there's no games night tonight, I am going home early.

So there.

An enigma wrapped in a mystery (free non sequitur)

Such is the quite possibly irreconcilably split nature of your correspondent, that he is torn between maintaining complete silence and providing some kind of commentary. As ever, that part of my brain that demands attention has won out, but only under the stern injunction from the rest of my psyche, that no one should be any the wiser once the task is complete.

That in mind, and operating under the freedom gained by accidentally double-dosing on painkillers, I shall therefore, with a smile redolent with Mona Lisa mystery and with a sphinx-like hauteur merely list a few words and phrases, so that you, my dear and only reader, can do with them as you please:

Moonlight,
River,
Sewing yourself into your underwear,
Forging the British Empire,
Marshmallows.

I now take my leave of you to get on with reading the back of the box of painkillers to see when it will be safe to top up.

In the meantime, I'd forgotten just how good Camel's Snow Goose is.
