A pink blancmange.

Mozzer - I hope you and the family are OK? - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-53166548

The Kernow Towers Space Observation Facility cannot confirm or deny that a rocket ship flew overhead at 2043 hrs BST today, due to the fact that the observation staff were unable to visually detect the presence of the space vehicle.

I've just realised that most of my family live within 260 miles from South Devon. Top banana.

I used to spray a lot indoors, in my previous 'railway den', but then I realised that the UPVC window sill and things like the net curtains were getting discoloured, plus the fact that CTMK wasn't happy with the notion either!
I could turn the fan heater on and pre-heat the shed, but I'm having a 'feeling a bit knackered' kind of day today, so I'll probably just make another cup of tea and pinch some more of CTMK's G.F. granola later.

Unbelievable! - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-52742519

I blame Hovis for the fact that every time I hear the slow movement of Dvořák's New World symphony I think of that unspecified Northern town (in Dorset), rather than (eg.) the rolling open prairies of North America.

Someone did, I've no idea if it was BC.
You'd also have to be of a certain age to be trying to avoid singing Flanders and Swanns words to the finale of Mozart's Horn Concerto in E flat major.
I once had a whim and I had to obey it
To buy a French Horn in a second-hand shop;
I polished it up and I started to play it
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop...

I think I may defrost a scone.

The last time CTMK asked me to make her a cup of tea, she requested that I allow the tea bag 'to become acquainted with the hot water'. What can she have meant?

I'm a little teapot short and stout,
Here's my handle
Here's my spout
Please Mrs.CK do not shout
I've just introduced myself to your cup with my spout
We're happy now to sit and wait
Until the temperature starts to abate
Please raise your feet and taste my brew
Coz the Captain has done his best for you
The End

Running in. More running in. And then a bit more running in after that.

Finally, the wind has swung round to a more westerly direction.

That's not salmon, it's a piece of cooked sweet potato.

I am now gradually reconciling myself to the lack of minced garlic in the shops.
-
OK, now here's a mystery. What has happened to minced garlic on our supermarket shelves? You just can't find it anywhere these days. Just the inferior 'garlic granules', which are too small.

More than £100 later and we have now had the £1 charity shop CD extracted from the CD player in CTMK's car. I'm now playing it as I type this, some rather lovely Handel baroque music that I haven't heard before. But I wish it hadn't decided to bug*er up the car CD player.

I have just been onto the internet and downloaded a free telephone ringtone to my computer. I have then transferred the new ringtone to my telephone. I have then changed the ringtone on my telephone from the old one to the new one. This is the first time that I have ever attempted such a technical challenge.

Vegetable soup.

On my personal PC I use Firefox with Adblock and NoScript.
Firefox can also support containers where you can separate out Google activity from your usual browsing so they cannot put in tracking cookies. It also has a useful Facebook blocking script that stops those little F symbols tracking your activity as well.
On my work computer, they can follow me all they want; youtube (signed in as well for extra tracking!!), google signed in but all they will get is software dev, trains, my eclectic music video taste, trains, slightly to left of right hovering over the centre politics, trains, Ebay.
Facebook is on my phone only, they know I like trains and history, that I don't post anything anymore and I like to volunteer at Parkrun.
My phone is scary, it knows what I am about to do, that sh*t is worry-some.

It can be rather agreeable, when one remembers that there are some chocolate brownies in the freezer.

I am nothing if not unsurprising and in need of a vegetarian ready-meal.

I have spent the morning doing a job that I loathe, renewing, repairing and replacing tile grout.
But why have I even told you this?

I've been soldering up some etched brass dummy point levers. Sometimes the best way to hold these small parts is with your fingers and just take the pain, in the Name of Art.
