Tomorrow is a day which is burned into my science fiction brain. When the far future becomes the present.
5K run today – 27 mins 21 seconds Not world-record pace. But not bad for 63.
Been listening to the BBC Radio Adaptation of Lord of the Rings. Listened to it as a teenager. Some of it holds up really well. Only just worked out that Bill Nighy played Sam. (Not so keen on the singing tho.)
Trying out the local Google Gemma LLM on phone. Seems to be a bit off.
Yesterday we went for a nice walk near Peak Forest. Suddenly the weather changed and there was high winds driving rain followed by a hailstorm. The 7k walk back to the car was unthinkable. A kind Polish man gave us a lift into Bradwell.
I have been e-ink curious for a bit. Wanted a reader and perhaps some note taking. Got the Boox Go 7 which is within arms reach of being a digital Moleskine. But so many terrible design decisions ruin it.
Discovered on walk near Rushup Edge - Joyriders had driven two cars up onto moorland. One set on fire, the other was upside down.
Avoid Hasting Direct. I cancelled the auto renewal - and they renewed anyway. Took the money and then wanted £20 as a cancellation fee!!
A lovely sunset over the Rivelin Valley in Sheffield ( or alternatively a low-yield, airburst tactical nuke over Manchester )
Possibly the best pizza I have made yet. Dough crisper. Sauce not over reduced. 🧑🍳😘
Today’s walk. Alport Castles. ( not a real castle, but a tower created by a prehistoric land slip).
Every Friday I make pizza. Making small tweaks to improve. Might be the best one yet.
Spotted this handsome fellow. He had hopped into a field with his family just on the edge of Sheffield.
From my studio I can watch them making a building. It’s fascinating.
