The weather forecast for today said ‘dry and sunny.’ It was sunny when I woke up; it stayed sunny; I decided to do some washing. The sky remained clear for as long as the machine was running. I hung the washing on the line. And then it began to snow, and it kept on snowing. It got heavier and heavier. When it assumed the dimensions of a blizzard, I brought the washing in again.
Talking of weather forecasts, three times in the last seven days, BBC Ceefax has given the weather for 1800-0600 as ‘dry and sunny.’ Maybe they published the New Zealand edition by mistake. Or maybe it was just one more small example of the absurdities served up to us by the media, a fact that most people don’t seem to notice for some reason.
Never mind. There’s a programme on the TV tonight, all about how the mathematicians have discovered that there isn’t just one version of infinity, but several. Must watch it, I could do with a bit of excitement.
