No sign of thunder, but the rain arrived an hour ago. I’ve decided to tidy my office. Got a pile of things to go on the Bay, including an N95, that I’m just charging up to see if it still works. The video cable has been chewed by mice, and I threw away the original back when I bought a double size heavy duty battery for it (which I’m a bit disappointed is flat after only 15 years)
Lights have come on, but I can’t remember how to unlock it. I should probably go to google for that one rather than spend my time typing about it on here.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

We also got a sudden episode of thick cloud and heavy rain around teatime, and now it's turned quite nice again
Tea was brought to me from an Indian fast food place in town. It was OK, though not amazing. Very reasonably priced though, so I suppose you get what you pay for

Lots of wildlife stuff on today as usual, but no Monkey Life
And according to Ludicrous, Tesla has a variety of underhand tactics to try to avoid scrutiny by the NTSB. It occurs to me that if Trump wants revenge on Musk, he could simply ensure that the NTSB has the resources and information required to perform its legally mandated role
Goodnight all
