    Morning denizens

    Grey but fairly mild out again

      A light, but not late, lunch of some M&S "chicken bites" with a bag of chicken crisps to give them some chicken flavour (as opposed to the flavour of chicken)

        An essay about John Wayne, including an excerpt from Joan Didion's essay about John Wayne: Excerpt from Slouching Towards Bethlehem: ‘John Wayne: A Love Story’, by Joan Didion | The Sheila Variations

          Green vegetable soup with pulses for lunch.

          I'm expecting the local weather to get windy this afternoon.

            No way! That is a joke surely?

              Brand new car, you don't expect the oil warning light to come on within a couple of days.

                Been playing with thyristors for much of the day.

                Funny things, thyristors.

                Peculiar rather than ha ha, though.
                When the fun stops, STOP.

                  That obviously begs the question...why?

                  Btw, been building flashing light circuits with Shift registers (74hc595) and arduino to amuse little boy. He's grasped that digital electronics is a lot like lego

                    Coz it's in the content for that module.

                    So the Esteemed Customers have to know some stuff about it.

                    It is like Lego(tm) at low speed.

                    It gets trickier when it gets faster.

                    X5 home.

                    Nearly fell asleep.

                    I think it's the release of the stress, such as it was, of waiting for the VR notification and the prospect of spending 5 hours on another trip to Carmarthen today.

                    I may watch "Chisum" this evening, being Yet Another Duke Wayne epic.

                      A large batch of chips is in the freezer a-freezing, and I've changed the bedclothes. Minor achievements, perhaps, but they'll do for me
