That is the main thing

It was being discussed on singletrack yesterday - doesn't sound good.

It will be a moneymaking opportunity for somebody apart from the staff but I don't pretend to know how it all works.

This is going to be a long day. Three hours & two coffees into the shift and still nothing to do apart from delete pointless emails and send time sheets to goodness knows where. No vessels in port and nothing due until the early hours of Tuesday either!

The only good part to the day so far was the ride in to work - just under 14 miles in the sunshine & light winds.

Nipping out for an early lunch ride. Got a 2 hour Skype scheduled for 2pm, so going out for an hour on the bike a bit earlier. Slightly cool out, but that's perfect for a ride.

Getting a steady flow of strawberries and raspberries from the garden now - although the raspberries are a bit bitter, so my wife is planning on turning them into jam. We have loads of peas growing, but might not make it into a meal - they are too nice raw.

I'm having a very slow start to the day. I'll wish you all good day as it feels a bit late for good morning.

I've got a ''Dad you are awesome'' balloon in front of me. Yesterday, my granddaughters showed me their ''Stop, don't touch me there'' dance routine. I think it's a tiktok thing. Whatever it is, it seems to be aimed at reducing the R number.

Whoosh, what?

I doubt you really want to know but just in case.... Apologies to all.

I have some good weather today, but it's sort of the dry season here in the summer. Most of the rain comes from thunderstorms, when and if it comes. But I had a good storm the other day, and may have more today. Then dry for most of the rest of the week. Just getting ready for the Sahara dust plume.

I felt really old a few days ago. Someone was complaining at great length and detail about their phone bill, and download charges.
The last time I had that much trouble with my phone bill was when the gravity buttons on the phone were faulty and the calls were not ended by putting the receiver down. There are lots of peeps who would not have a clue what I was talking about.

I have mobile (handy) phone, but only for my own emergencies, and it is pay as you go.
