The brick scene revisited

Following the report at reference 1, around three weeks ago, it is time for an update. The big news is that the carriage of bricks up and down the garden has been slowed down by the resumption of daily exercise by bicycle, as recommended by Chairman Johnson and as regular readers will no doubt already have noticed. From a target of 48 a day - otherwise 3 heaps - to an achievement of something nearer 16 - otherwise 1 heap.

Nevertheless, the total number of bricks carted since the start of lockdown is now 1984 (as in the famous novel), amounting to 263,872 horizontal metres and 5,952 vertical metres. This last being just about the height of Alpamayo in Peru, in the fourth division. See reference 2.
