The passage of time in Wellington and elsewhere

The above conversation considers a book called ‘Capital in the 21st Century’. It is an economic view and so is interesting to hear something on the subject from a non-health viewpoint. Maybe then, as it concerns money and core politics, it will generate more traction than the health considerations.
I found this video from reading John Naughton’s blog.
After the disappointment of last year, Brentford secure promotion with three games to spare. It seems all around them are losing their heads.
Such stark contrast to the end of the season last year when they argued about, then missed, a last minute penalty, that if scored would have given them victory and automatic promotion. That lead to the ‘play-offs’ and failure for the 7th time. That time a loss in the final to Yeovil, who may just survive in the Championship this year.

Brentford celebrated spot-kick salvation after Alan Judge’s 30th-minute penalty proved enough for a 1-0 win and promotion to the Championship.
Almost a year after Marcello Trotta’s final-day miss denied the Bees a place in the second tier, Judge kept his cool to put his side in front against play-off hopefuls Preston at Griffin Park. Judge could even afford to miss a second penalty in the second half.
Brentford’s elevation was partly made possible by a surprise 2-1 defeat for Leyton Orient at Crawley. The long-time leaders of League One now face the uncertainty of the play-offs after seeing their increasingly slim hopes of automatic promotion extinguished at Broadfield Stadium. Gwion Edwards put the home side in front after 26 minutes and despite an equaliser from Chris Dagnall just before the break, Adam Drury’s 70th-minute header won it for the hosts.
This weekend has nor been the best for me, but for the Super 15 I am still up there-top 500 out of 61k.
Last weekend I was in the top 200!
I continue to beat Joe at the picks for the EPL and league. Experience wins.
As Eleanor is back for Easter, it was a good reason to enjoy the ballet again, and so we went to see a ballet that we enjoyed in the past.
The theatre was not full which seems to be a sign of the times, be it the arts festival, or on as different tack, the rugby at the stadium.
We were sat to one side which meant we could not see the balcony scenes, important of the first act-somewhat annoying. However, the performance was good and act 2, set in the workshop when the toys or mannequins come to life was really well done. The lead ballerina did not have a perfect night however.
Still it is great to got to these things and the company was good.
