Trolley 609

What is almost certainly going to be the last trolley of the old year was captured in Station Approach. A small trolley from the M&S food hall.

A trolley which hardened my choice of Epsom Library, rather than returning home. The point being another engagement in town a couple of hours later. Do something in the library or walk home for a short snooze? In the event, doing something in the library proved to be well worth while. Of which more in due course.

The record suggests that the year's tally will be 56 trolleys, a rather piffling average of just over one a week - but having not elected to keep the record in the form of a spreadsheet, further analysis would be tiresome. Perhaps I could commission a grandchild to produce such a spreadsheet, a commission which would be lucrative and instructive for him or her, useful for me? How thorough would I be about checking? Would there be financial penalties for errors? To be thought about.

Digging deeper in the meanwhile, I find that trolley No.1, to be found unnumbered at reference 3, was captured back in July 2014. So the long term average is pretty much the same as that for this year. 608 / (52×9 + 20) = 1.03. Give or take, in that I have not bothered to ask that fine DateDiff function in Excel the exact number of days or weeks involved.

PS: in the course of finding reference 3, I find that I had the idea of commissioning a grandchild back in 2015. No further action at that time.
