Lock down dog walk
Enjoying morning walks with Fay and the four-legged boys. We're extremely lucky to be here.
2020
This could sum up most (not all) of 2020 so far. In general, a big steaming pile of crap of a year. Here's to H2.
The People vs Tech
Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Phone and Go and Do Something Less Boring Instead? Like, read this book.

Then read Cal Newport's Digital Minimalism
Lock-in for lock-down
We may have reached the point where we drink our way through the rest of lock down.
Wild flowers
First two flowers in the garden wild flower meadow. Ragged Robin followed by Red Campion.
Lock down dinner
Lock down dinner is served. Tonight's chef special: H's Protein Blockbuster Stir Fry. Yum.
Bridleway to Brightwell
The bridleway from Shillingford bridge (ish) to Brightwell (ish). For my gov.uk approved exercise.
Team Challenge
Paul's team challenge. Something to do with players who have never played together or at the same club or country or something.
An evening at the pub
An evening at the pub. Catching up and talking rubbish with occasional sense and insight about music.
Porridge
As I said previously, get ready for more abstract object studies of stuff around the home. A lot more. I'm not getting out much.
More abstract

Cairn
>A cairn is a man-made pile (or stack) of stones. The word cairn comes from the Scottish Gaelic: càrn
Glass, water
> Glass with water by light on wood.

I did warn you.
Bird house
The Bird House is 10. Yes ten years old this April and still going strong, if a tad faded and woodpecker pecked.
WFH Lab Setup
I work on teaching computers to watch TV. Yes, that strapline is inspired by Douglas Adams (he of Always Carry a Towel fame!).
Working, or trying to work from home, means replicating part of our lab setup. This isn't it.
Pasta Cheese
April 8th is now Pasta Cheese Back-off Day. This year Amelie won. But the judging was split... by about 210km.
iPhone Recycling
The packaging for our first iPhone (the Cisco-Linsys one, not the Apple one). Found in the loft, now in with the cardboard recycling.
Daffodil Hill
Local dog walks now start and end at Daffodil Hill. Named because it's a hill with Daffodils. Well, a bump may be more accurate. You know, kind of a like a mole-hill type hill. (But with Daffs.)
