Can there be a reason ?


A few rooks on the sand this morning. Apart from that we have the place pretty much to ourselves. It's peak term time in town. The small street that runs down to the library is busy with undergraduates rushing backwards and forwards. At this hour of the morning the ratio of male to female students seems to be about 1:4. The same holds true for runners on the beach. In the evening the ratio reverses.  Can there be a rational explanation for this clear gender diversity ? Early birds and late owls?  Hard working v less committed ?

The BBC breakfast programme reports on President Trumps plans for Gaza. A gentleman, introduced as Senator Thom Tillis, tells the listeners that ' There's probably a couple of kinks in that slinky'. We both agree that this is an insight that will leave many listeners on this side of the pond none the wiser.


I am now totally confused about this tragic and very public court case :https://www.tortoisemedia.com/2025/02/05/panel-of-experts-say-no-evidence-lucy-letby-murdered-babies

Slinkies were popular toys here too - they seem to come and go in fashion. My children certainly went through the Slinky phase in the late 1990s, so there may be marginal comprehension!
