For somebody who's not colourblind, it can be a bit hard to understand how the world looks if you are.However, I've just discovered there are now sites that can help.For instance, here is the same photo of Anna processed in three different ways by Colour Blindness Simulator:From left to right, that's the original, then the way it's seen by people...

The Scotsman claims today that the government is planning to vaccinate the entire UK population against swine flu.That might turn out to be a wise decision, but I'm a bit concerned about the timescale:The last people won't get their flu jab till November 2010.I'm not sure it can be done any sooner, but if it turns out to be a...

Gyms are generally priced in a way that makes sense if you visit them several times a week, but if you like me just want to do fifteen minutes once a week, they’re horribly overpriced.
I spent the past week in Paris (or rather, Champs sur Marne) with Phyllis, Marcel, Charlotte, Léon, Anna and Amaia; I was working the entire week at a local company while Phyllis dragged the kids round Paris.
One day we noticed a tiny open-air gym on our way to the RER station.
It was tiny — just four machines — and made in cast iron painted yellow and green (see the photo).
For real gym aficionados, it would be useless, but I wish East Renfrewshire would put up equipment like this in our parks — I’m sure it’d be good for the general health and well-being!

Den nuværende dille med at nedlægge de små sygehuse og erstatte dem med nybyggede supersygehuse er en international tendens, ikke kun en dansk.Jeg vil spå, at om en årrække vil det blive set som en af vor tids største fiaskoer.Idéen om at samle specialerne, så fx hjertekirurgerne kan operere på hjerter hele tiden i stedet for et par gange om året, er jo i og for sig udmærket.De to hovedproblemer er flg.:For det første bliver afstandene alt for store. Patienter...

Som jeg sikkert har nævnt tidligere, skal Phyllis efter planen føde den 9. januar.Det betyder, at afstanden fra skambenet til toppen af livmoderen gerne skulle være 28-29 cm.Men da de målte hende i dag til et rutinetjek, var afstanden 34 cm.De sagde først, det sikkert bare var for meget væske, men de sendte hente til scanning for at tjekke.Men nej,...

This will probably make most readers of this blog envious, but I am curious to find out whether I'm unique in this respect.I seem to be unable to get a headache.Even when I have a hangover, I only have the...

Jeg havde da haft lidt ondt i halsen i længere tid, men det var da ikke noget alvorligt.Men så eskalerede det pludselig torsdag aften – mit hovede blev varmere og varmere, og min krop koldere og koldere.Jeg gik i seng,...
