Very close to the end of the half year, it seemed like a good time to update the brick report. With the Pivot Table feature of Microsoft Excel providing the analysis above with only a very modest amount of hand tweaking of the final graph. Plus picking out one date error for me, now corrected.
Carriage holding fairly steady after the busy time during the first lock down: carrying bricks up and down the garden has proved to be a pleasant and durable form of light exercise late afternoons, before Scrabble.
It did not take long to work out how to count the days on which bricks were not carried - having cheated to the extent of including dummy records for those days, this because line graphs by day work better when there is a data line for every day. The total number of null days, something more than 1 in 3, is right, but I am not yet convinced about the 40 a quarter. Checking continues.
PS: the COVID death chart included in the last report at reference 1 appears to have been discontinued at the end of last year. No news is good news - although we never did get to know what the end game was in China, after the rather abrupt lifting of restrictions, also at the end of last year. Presumably not as dire as some commentators at the time were suggesting it might have been.
