Sunday morning I was basically a grump... nothing was cheering me up. I was going out for lunch and didn't want to go, couldn't even be bothered to go and get ready. I eventually got the enthusiasm and had a quick shower... then the best part of my weekend... possibly month. I was looking for a pair of jeans to wear and couldn't find my normal ones. I went through my drawers and found a pair that have clearly never been worn. I'd obviously tried them on and thought, well... they'll fit soon, and put them in the drawer. I tend to buy things and keep them when they don't fit instead of taking them back. I'm sure lots of women have brought things they like so much that they keep them in the hopes they'll fit... well this is one of mine. I haven't been in that drawer for about two years so didn't get my hopes up. I put them on and was thinking, these seem alright but they aren't done up yet. I then managed to do them up, and whats more I could sit down and breath at the same time. Brilliant! I haven't smiled so much in my life... well that might be an exgeration but you know what I mean.
I told you once before about our local arsonist that goes round burning for sale signs and other plastic boards down one of our roads, well he's been in action again. Evidently it was an incredible view to see the street lit by flaming signs!? I'm wondering if we could put them to use and have them light our Olympic flame in 2012.
We found the following website for crime statistics in the met area. http://maps.met.police.uk/ It does only cover burglary, robbery and vehicle crime, and I think this is why my area comes out quite well... add our arsonist in and the colour would probably change! Its quite interesting to look at, the road where I work is a good laugh. Our side of the road is in the average bracket and the other side is below average... so we know where we're parking our cars tomorrow! Looking at the road I live in I evidently need to move about 30 houses further down to be a little safer. Croydon in particular has some red sections which was to be expected but I'm interested by the rather pointy angles on the sections. Does this mean that someone commited a crime on that point?
