I bet it was driving him nuts...

Waiting for green tea to cool

Well, we've got the full works here. Thunder, lightning, rain coming down in a deluge of biblical proportions.

Just arrived here. Hope my potatoes are okay.

Yesterday I spent most of the day trying to get our two CNC woodcutting machines to work, a job for which my Occupational Therapist training, left me monumentally unqualified for: it turns out that no matter how often you ask a CNC machine won't sit down and tell you its feelings. I had some assistance from an incredibly patient tech type in Dortmund, which is rather a long way away, so it was a bit like a challenge on a game show with contestants telling the twit in the game what buttons to poke.

You will be surprised to hear that this combination was less than effective.

Guess what I'll be doing today...

Hmm, if you really need, just pm me. I did cnc programming for a living

Smart as chimps, when problem solving.
Must be true, it's in the Daily Mail.

Naahh, crows are far too smart to read the Daily Wail...

Sounds like you folks are getting what I received from extra-tropical storm Cristobal the other day. Hope no one has gotten too inundated.

A bit of rolling thunder followed by less than 10 minutes of rain on Thursday last. Other than that just a damp Friday, here at least.

Many thanks, I may take you up on that as the company still can't work out what went wrong. My Predecessor (who helped set the machines up and now works in a different department) will swing by today to try and get the things to cooperate as the general opinion now is that the programming is to blame...

Let's get some fresh air

Home now just like yesterday morning the mist descended very quickly so only 5 gentle miles.

Home now with tea brewing

I went for a walk today, eight and a half miles, took me two hours and two minutes.

According to Strava, though, I did 6.22 miles in a shade over 13 minutes. My average mile split was 2:10, and my best was a mile in 12 seconds.

I took the phone out while I was walking round the lake at Beckenham Place Park, and Strava told me that I was walking at 224mph.

I could make the Olympics next year, I reckon.

Suspect you might be first on the International Testing Agency's anti-doping list. There might be some taking the p*ss, though of whom and by whom would seem to be a little unclear from those times.

Morning! I have my tea.

Good morning, we have a warm misty murky morning.
