Is it me or is the world going completely mad?
A certain person, who is one of the richest men in the world, has decided to eradicate poverty. To do this he will develop complex "humanoids" ? to carry out repetitive manual tasks. For this he will get a bonus that has 1 followed by twelve zeros.
Is this "robot" going to be complex enough to plant rice in paddy fields, or pick tea leaves at the right stage, or any of the other tasks that people in developing countries get paid to do?
Is it going to stop people planting cannabis or other plants because that is what earns them the most money? Is a robot going to install solar power, pumps and pipes for people to have fresh water?
Yours,
confused of West Worcestershire
His robots walking out looked more like soldiers to me.

I'm a sock down from this morning's laundry! I did not authorise its release.

I must have overdone it with my ride yesterday. Working on our car on Tuesday and Wednesday plus the ride seems to have tipped me over the edge. I was feeling really cold this morning so I decided to have a nap and sleep it off. The first nap didn't work ,so after lunch I decided to have another, this is when Georgie decided that I needed warming up and settled on my lap for a snooze, he must have sensed that I wasn't feeling very well.

It's been a mild and grey day here chez Casa Reynard, and we escaped the rain that was forecast.
Sleep was middling. I had a very productive morning doing DIY. Replaced the draught excluder strips / insulating on one of the kitchen windows - which should negate the need for duck tape to plug the irritating draught. Did both the inner and outer casement windows, and touch wood, no draught. Still have the other window to do, but I need to clear the work surface so I can kneel on it.
Also did some small repairs on two of the upstairs sash windows - which again, has resulted in plugging some annoying draughts. I've got outer casements and inner sash. The sash guides had come loose, so it was simply a matter of tapping them all back into place. I shall check all the remaining sash windows in the coming days. It does already feel much warmer in the house.
Had a lovely luncheon of salami on toast, an apple, a banana and a
Spent the afternoon in the garden, clearing up some more storm damage and doing a spot of lumberjilling. I've stashed another large case of cut logs in the garage, so really happy with that. It's satisfying to get ahead for when the weather isn't so conducive to doing stuff outside.
Now sat supping on a and watching the early evening news. Soon be time to listen to sprint qually from Brazil.
