Yesterday the sun shone virtually all day and it was filled with good things. In the morning went over to Wymondham to take photographs of the Abbey and various other picturesque places. I will place these on the Norfolk images part of the iwitness 24 web site when my Broadband eventually comes back. It shows no signs of returning yet and I'm getting very frustrated as this is the third time in the past 12 months that my telephone line has been wiped out.
So after Wymondham we spent the afternoon at Carrow Road to see Norwich beat Wolves 2-1. Norwich seem to have been playing with fear for some time now - fear of a relegation that is in no danger of happening. They really need a lesson in positive attitude. Instead of continually talking about being relegated they should have been talking about finishing in the top half of the division.
Spent the evening at Cinema City watching the Belgium film The Boy With A Bike. it was enjoyable if, ultimately, a bit lightweight. It certainly had a beginning and a middle but no perceptible end as it just suddenly stopped. I couldn't believe it when the end credits started rolling.
I have mentioned on her before about the corny nature of the new set of adverts extolling the virtues of holidaying in the UK. I mentioned how they talked about Sun, Sand, Sea and Skegness. This was beaten hands down by yesterday's cinema ad where actor Rupert Grint actually said "why go to Bondi when you can come here to Bridlington." Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. If they took a survey of 100 people and asked them where they would rather go Sydney or Bridlington I think the answer just might be Sydney. Having been to both I can vouch for the fact that the Australian city is just ever so slightly more interesting than the Yorkshire seaside town. These adverts get more and more ridiculous. Shortly after there was a separate advert extolling the virtues of Canada. This one didn't mention Brid. It probably assumed that there is no contest between the Canadian Rockies and the Yorkshire coast.
Which takes me onto the 12 Virgin shorts that are currently being shown in cinemas. Twelve very short films by independent film makers, all trying to be different and all failing miserably. The films try to be clever and by and large fail and some of them are just laughable.
Interesting headline on the billboards in Norwich yesterday "Cathedral Falcon lays an egg." Wow the sheer excitement of that. I know we are a quiet backwater for news by and large but surely this wasn't the most important headline of the day.
I am spending this afternoon at a special workshop to discuss the future use of the Memorial Playing Field in Hethersett.
I love Mathis and probabilities. I am always working things out in my head. So this morning in an idle moment I worked out the probabilities of winning anything on the national lottery. Of course my figures could be completely wrong but here goes. On one line of six numbers costing a pound your chance of the first number being one of your six is 8.16 to 1. The chances of the second number is 9.6 to 1. Chances of the third number is 11.75 to 1 chances of the fourth number is 15.33 to 1 chances of fifth number is 22.5 to 1 and chances of the sixth are 44 to 1.
That means the chances of getting one number is 8.16 to 1' the chances of getting two numbers is 78.34 to 1' chances of getting three numbers and winning £5 is 920.45 to 1' chances of getting four numbers is 14,110.47 to 1 chances of five numbers is 317,485.5 to 1 and the chances of hitting the jackpot with all six numbers is 13,969,362 to 1. So now you know.
