And I giggled at the loo roll - I remember when my Dad was trying to explain to us about the difference between correlation and causation in statistics and linked the number of loos rolls per average household in Sweden with the number of pots of jam they ate! Your camera looks fun ...but my favourite photo is your new desk just full of all that wonderful creativity :).alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789464804911391774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-89118090103927244842015-06-03T14:25:14.395+01:002015-06-03T14:25:14.395+01:00As always Julie - really enjoyed reading your numb...As always Julie - really enjoyed reading your numbers!

Oh and the toilet roll question? I like a little softness too in my loo roll! Not seen that TV series but hope you can stay ahead.

Our average roll length is 24.0m. I felt 'flushed' with success after discovering ours were longer, but then wondered what this says about the north/south divide. Why do we need longer rolls? Apparently (don't you just love Google?) Buckingham Palace is 24m high. So if the Queen stood on the roof and undid one of my rolls it would reach down to the ground, but if Prince Phillip stood next to her and undid one of yours, it would only come down to the dining room window sill. I wonder if they've ever tried that?<br />As for that bird sculpture - it is so creepy, I think I'd have nightmares after seeing that for real. I should never have watched that Hitchcock movie 'The Birds' - scarred for life.debs14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14521565769251816528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-84069803113240688262015-06-01T15:35:30.342+01:002015-06-01T15:35:30.342+01:00Sound like May been productive and enjoyable....Co...Sound like May been productive and enjoyable....Coffee is on peppylady (Dora)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01649272822470007714noreply@blogger.com
