    Morning all
    Misty out, which probably helped keep the temp above freezing (just)
    Big drive to a foreign land this evening - off to a presentation by Gordon Buchanan in Yeovil, taking my DoE student with me (the fact that he's now a better photographer than me is irrelevant, he's still my student!). Also have to book flights to go to the memorial service
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Morning.

        Wednesday. Thought it was Wednesday yesterday but it turned out to be Tuesday instead.

        Work dream again.

        Dry.

        Wanly sunny.

        Chilly in here at 11.4 deg, 9.5 in the kitchen, 8.5 in the leanto, 4 deg in the saltinghouse.

        1019.5 mBar, 30.1 in Hg, 764.687 Torr, 14.786 psi, (down from 1020 last night), 60% RH (Lidl electric).

        Meanwhile on the 29th of December 2019 nothing much happened.

        Washing in progress.

        Everything out on the line: even gave the machine a 60 deg wash to shut it the feck up about Hygiene.

        Walk (unabbreviated) in the sunshine.

        Lunch: brunch.

        Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about the usual tulipe.

        TWATO.

        Oh, I need checking twice in 30 minutes now?

        Yes, I am what passes for a human.

        Shirts in off the line & roughly iRoned, along with those of the cottons in similar need, all airing upstairs.

        Tin shed received some undercoat once I'd managed to get the lid off the tin of paint. Said lid is unlikely to go back on successfully. .

        Remaining smalls & cottons in off the line & airing upstairs.

        Tea: chicken in white sauce etc.

        Entertainment: PM.

        Maigret sets a trap.

        Secrets in the Ice: the first ep from Monday which I couldn't watch due to NCIS: Alexandra Land island in the Franz Joseph Land: Nazi weather station. Lake Huron: large ridge across the lake underwater: stone structure: used to hunt caribou before the water level rose. Kalinigrad oblast bronze age metal brooch: cremation burials: trading in amber. Duvanny Yar: living nematodes out of permafrost.

          I tried a couple of them, but because they are based on images, the devices I am using keep trying to highlight letters/words rather than allow me to move tiles around.

            I haven't tried these maps yet. The chap who runs the site is very responsive to feedback; you should drop them a note to let them know.

                Nice sunny day out, with the merest wisp of cloud here and there

                  Yes, while it's very useful to be able to copy OCR text from images, I wish there was a way to turn it off for this kind of thing

                    They need to add
                    Code:
                    -webkit-user-select: none
                    to the CSS for the images
