28th May !

What happened on the 28th May?

It was a Tuesday, there wasn’t anything special in my diary, it was the day after I blogged about Star Trek but surely that doesn’t explain this:

I try not to pay attention to the stats section of my blog page because I can’t really think why people other than the few I know about would read this.  I don’t aim to entertain, inform or debate, though hopefully occasionally I do some of these I’ve always bloged with only the intention of keeping a record for myself.

So why did I get 300 hits on the 28th?  My normal turn over of hits of 40-60 is confusing enough but 300?  I dug down a bit but there wasn’t really much to go on, just showing the same sort of searches and pages visited (and only one hit on the star trek post).

There has to be a glitch somewhere either in the total count or the specific pages visited which only adds up to around 30 hits.  This is going to really screw up my average figures.

Too hot to blog…

No it’s not.

We’ve had a few days of fantastic weather which and it is incredible how quickly we can get used to it. Normally in Scotland it is difficult to go very far from home/office/car without carrying a jacket, rain coat or umbrella ‘just in case’.  So I surprised myself by going all the way to Edinburgh this week with no extra clothes for wind, rain or hail.

Anyway, talking to a friend at the weekend she said that she preferred cold weather to hot becuase “if you are too cold you can generally do something about it, put on a jumper, turn up the heating – but if it is too hot there isn’t much you can do”  I have always had the other opinion that it is better to be too hot.  Now, I agree with what my friend said but I just don’t think I’ve ever been too-hot.

This week has indeed challenged this but in general I think that as a Scotsman living in Glasgow where frequently we experience all four seasons in one short afternoon and when each year we experience the strange sensation of trying to remember what that strange orange thing is that appears in the sky around February.

So it can never be too hot (in Scotland) and if anyone ever hears me saying “I’m too hot” please remind me of this fact.

BTW I think the good weather is about to break :-/
