And I've never really...
Never really got into astrology or the moon, but I did know from having three babies that babies often deliver on a full moon.
Every midwife I met told me that if the due date was near a full moon, I would probably...
you know, go into labour on a full moon.
And then they also told me that the police brace themselves.
Yes.
Is that true?
Yes.
One of the things I was exploring, I wrote a book about the moon and it was my love letter to the moon.
It was celebrating and it was looking at sort of, you know, lunacy and the fact that, you know, and some police forces do actually put extra cops on the beat when there's a full moon.
And it's quite interesting because it's sort of, you know, cause and effect.
And...
We try and do it scientifically because you can say you're working in a hospital and something interesting happens and it happens to be a full moon.
You remember that.
But if something interesting happens and it's not a full moon, you might not remember it.
So it's trying to look at sort of the evidence and the sort of, yes, but I do like the idea.
But also a friend of mine that was a social worker, she also said that they used to have more call outs for disruptions in the home on a full moon.
They would all brace themselves for that.
Oh, the phone's ringing more.
Yeah.
