Morning all

Another sunny start to the day with occasional wisps here and there. Currently 15 degrees with a high of 19 expected. Once again, cloud cover set to increase later in the day. Barometer at 1019 mBar.

Sunrise 06:30; Sunset 19:28 BST

It sounds mean but I am very much looking forward to going home tomorrow. My Mum's behaviour is much more challenging than my last stay just a couple of months ago. It's hard to tell if she's just being wilful or if she genuinely has no memory of how to do some simple tasks.

[WTFH]

Morning all
8C at 5:40 this morning, but I still went out in short sleeves. All was good until we walked along a path where the temperature dropped. Tomorrow may be the start of long sleeves for walks.

Morning denizens

There are layers of high, thin cloud, so enough sunshine is getting through to make it “sunny” but in a rather washed-out kind of way. It might get a bit clearer later though. It’s a mere 11°C but will soar to 19° later, with the barometers up a whisker at 1005/1013mB

Thursday!

Due to the delays to Viz, I have to go to Big Sainsbury’s again. I’m not sure I’ll have time for that at lunchtime so might have to put it off until tomorrow. Then again, maybe I can squeeze it in if I’m not too busy

Morning.

Thursday apparently.

Dry.

Grey.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 18.9 deg, 19.4 in the kitchen, 17 in the leanto, 13 out the back.

1010 mBar, 29.83 in Hg, 757.6 Torr, 14.65 psi, (down from 1011.5 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 4th of April 2020, between 11:45 and 13:15, AndyGarbs, LM, MrMarkyMark, NF, and I popped in, with NF giving us the Leicester death count. .

Mediocre night's sleep, being rather overtired after yesterday's exertions.

Entertainment: Jack Hargreaves Old Country: old tools: thing for boring bung holes in barrels, Broom maker's thing for cutting thorns off blackthorne sticks, poacher's net weight for salmon, weight for spinning thread. Hogged mane on a Viking Horse aka Norwegian Fjord horse : very striking. Using a stick to stop rams going through hedges when the fancy takes them. Carding wool. Spinniing wool with a spinning wheel. Worsted thread: uncarded. Spinning flax. Spinning silk slub.

Tonight’s reading was more of Dawn, in which she’s still not very happy about being stuck with a bunch of aliens that are planning to genetically modify all surviving humans

Thursday tomorrow!

And it’s Tech Debt day too, so shouldn’t be stressful

Goodnight all

Grab the 17 pro max, I got one from Cashconverters for £910 about a month ago..

But I’d only be getting a new one for the camera with variable aperture, and the 17 doesn’t have that! For everything other than the camera, the 12 is still fine

[eek]

I’m tempted by the iPhone 18 Pro Max. My current 12 Pro Max is perfectly fine for stuff like calls, messages, email, and so on. But the camera leaves a lot to be desired compared to the new one - it can’t even do macro shots! And the new variable aperture sounds cool, though they slipped in something about it only having four settings when they thought we weren’t listening…

But pricewise, the old one was a bit over £1,600 with the maximum-in-2021 512GB, whereas the new one maxed out at 2TB would be nearer £2,600

The folding one seems pretty cool too, but that would be over three grand with 2TB. So I might hold off on that until the National Lottery have got their act together and picked the correct numbers for once

I intentionally updated a few weeks ago - because I suspect phone prices are going to be heading up a bit..

Er, no. There's a bit missing in your address thingy:

Oops. I must have over enthusiastically removed all the tracking junk.

Quite a peaceful day, just tinkering around with bits

It’s the Apple Event at 18:00, announcing the new iPhones and such. Will this be the year I get a new one? There’s only been three such years in the history of the Universe, so the odds are against it

Mum is pleased with the hairdo. Turns out she'd been doing some random DIY trimming which made things a bit more difficult but the hairdresser had no doubt seen worse.

I think it made her feel a bit more normal to be doing things like going to the hairdresser, so I will endeavour to make it a more frequent occurrence for her.
