Reading is to the mind...

.... what exercise is to the body..

Just read a fascinating book about China but am making a slow start on this science book about movement.

The prologue has already told me that rain falls at 22 mph and that water moving at 4mph has as much destructive force as a hurricane.

A productive day but somewhat frustrating. I'm not exactly challenging myself at work at the moment. Maybe that's a good thing - a kind of mental sabbatical or maybe I'm just clueless!

Either way, here comes Barney, difficult child of global warming. I'll have to run to school through him in the morning. Cheeky thing, as my gran used to say.
