Lunch negotiated. Salmon quiche, a pear, some blueberries and two

Put my green wheelie bin out last night. It's not been emptied yet.

Too hot outside, so am working on my writing and keeping half an eye on the horse racing.

I think it's time to clean my glasses.🤓

Pass the pressure washer.

I've recently come back from a cycle ride . Not sure how far yet, must be around 10 miles. It is HOT warm out there! I saw a Heron fishing in the river at Reybridge and a Whitethroat singing away in a bush at Thingley . I'm resting in the shade now . That is the nice thing about tree lined lanes. They offer shelter from the wind ,rain ,and the heat of the sun.

I was out on my bike this morning, an enjoyable 31 miles.

I thought about a bike ride, even got kitted up, but it's just too hot. No tree-lined lanes around here.

Yes, the fens offer flat cycling country, but there's no shelter from the elements whatsoever.

So i'm sat down with a and two chocolate biskits and watching Hungary v Portugal.

Wow that's one hell of a pair of binoculars!

Well the Tastegoes pizza I just ate makes me think that I may have the virus, despite it having mozzarella, Cheddar, and Red Leicester cheese I couldn't taste anything !

 

[PeteXXX]

I think I'll put the ♻ bin out soon.

Apparently, The Kardashians has finished.. What am I going to not watch now?

We've got Teams but I use Blackboard Collaborate, which works much better. I had a Collaborate room open, along with e-mail, phone, Discussion Board and Skype. Most of the students were phoning, with a few popping in/out of the Collaborate room.

Skype's for university communication and my university phone number - I find it a pain as it takes over the audio settings from MS Teams. However, that's what they installed.

The biggest issue was a Turnitin* outage just before the main submission cut-off - cue piles of e-mails/calls. Only for a couple of minutes but enough to set the nerves off in about 25 students. I'd got a 'late/additional time'-type box already set up which they could submit into OK.

* an online academic submission method, that checks authenticity, for the non-academic.

*Not a locally produced product by any chance.
