Working in an ice-cream factory over the summer will always be pretty busy, but the last couple of weeks have been especially hectic. As a result, I haven’t had much time to be particularly sociable lately.
I’ve got the weekend off, and the weather seems to be cooling down a bit, so I’m going to make an attempt to reply to the stack of emails and text messages and the like that I’ve missed while I was working. If you’ve been trying to get hold of me, hang on, I’ll get back to you!
I’ve also just seen this on the BBC website.
About 200 children in east London were given pedometers to automatically count how many steps they walked and ran.
Mile End Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine was surprised by the activity levels recorded in some obese children.
Professor Nicola Maffulli said: “Then we realised they were attaching the pedometers to their dogs’ collars.”
I’m sure there’s a serious issue about scientific method and the validity of results in there somewhere, but I’m far too tired to see it just now. At the moment, it just amuses me!
