More than a year in bricks

The bricks still look much the same and there has been a steady downward trend in brick carrying since I last reported, towards the end of March, at reference 1. But has there?

March on the left and August on the right are incomplete months and more recently there have been two holidays. On the other hand, normal life is slowly restarted, taking time that might otherwise have been given to bricks. 

So one doesn't have to go to the lengths of reference 2 to find statistical difficulties.

Then I still have not learned how to stop the pivot table feature of Microsoft Excel including quarterly and annual subtotals by default, subtotals which do not belong in a line graph, so they had to be taken out by hand. On the other hand, it did take an intelligent interest in three letter month abbreviations and they appeared on the bottom of the chart without labour or fuss. A useful improvement.
