Finished off some KFC leftovers for tea because they’d only get chucked away otherwise

This evening’s viewing was the remainder of an episode of the motorway cops (who seldom go on the motorway) plus dashcam thing that I started watching the other night. At least they now try to make the dashcam clips vaguely relevant to whatever they’ve interrupted to slot them in

And tonight I read more of To Each This World where the story’s getting going, which makes the author’s occasionally idiosyncratic writing style slightly less distracting

Somebody just posted on Bluesky about trying to learn FORTH. I hope they find my multi-tweet response, including half-remembered snippets of source code from something I wrote on the Atari ST about thirty-five years ago, helpful

Goodnight all

We took advantage of the nicer weather yesterday for more exploration of the old town and I secured the purchase of postcards and stamps. Forgot to take a pen out with me so the writing and posting were delayed to later in the day.

Today we take the ferry to Helsinki.

Cloudy, but no rain forecast. A pleasant walk was had.

Morning denizens

I struggled to get to sleep for ages last night, with the result that this morning, I managed to turn off both first and second alarms without really waking up, then slept until a bit after eight. Oh well, I feel better for it, even if it does make the morning routine a bit rushed

There’s more cloud out than yesterday, but it’ll be warmer: already 17°C and aiming for 24°, though there’s also a decent breeze to keep the fresh air moving. The barometers are down to 1003/1011mB, continuing that odd trend this summer of the pressure dropping as the weather gets warmer

I realised after posting this that “somebody” is Ben Zotto, author of a book on the 1970s history of Sphere Computer which I bought recently. I also mentioned his site about them in Monday Links
