Ooh, that's a nice cup of tea

My cup of tea is very nice too.

Even if I say so myself.

To celebrate my recent achievement of 14 st. I'm currently eating a chocolate biscuit.

Earlier I had a wonderfully lardy sausage roll.

In fact, I've just celebrated it again with another biscuit.

I shall keep the lardy sausage roll for later.

I've just come back from a drive in the ZeitFiat.

It was so dirty I had to chip the dirt off before I went.

Drove all the way to the view point above Tower Colliery in the Rhigos.

Had an icecream, then drove all the way back again.

That 30 miles is the furthest it's been in ages.

Did the regular walk up the canal from Slawit to Marsden with the kids. They get to go to the ice cream shop and then sit on the wall by the weir and watch the ducks whilst i nip into the Riverhead brewery to grab a pint. Sadly, today, it was Marsden jazz festival and the place was heaving. Had to leave them perched on the wall under the watchful eye of a total stranger whilst I went for my lubrication.

Just dug out Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System which I bought in late 2011 but still haven't got around to reading

May amble down to the pub later, and sit in a quiet corner with a pint or more to read it.

"Customers who bought this item also bought The ZX Spectrum Ula: How to Design a Microcomputer" - why yes, Amazon, you're absolutely correct: I did. And I still haven't read that, either

It's 1940's night on telly. Guy Martin making a spitfire from scratch (well, he had a couple of photo's and a carcass dug out from under a froggie beach) followed by U boats at St Nazaire.

The Atari VCS had 128 bytes of RAM. That was for everything including the stack

Not a lot of recursion on there, then.

I see there's a book on the Apollo Guidance Computer too.

I assume that one could reverse engineer the Spectrum ULA into a FPGA if you were sad enough.

Thanks, I'd have missed that otherwise.
