Morning all. I managed to sleep almost 7 hours without waking last night. That's a rarity. By rights, I should be all fresh and frolicsome but I'm not so more tea is called for.

My grass seed it sprouting..
Looks like the birds didn't eat all of it 😂

Ok, phone experts, when you type on the phone using the sliding way of doing it rather than typing each letter individually, what's it called? I thought it might be something to do with haptic but that appears to be more to do with feedback from the phone.

The kind of thing where you slide your finger over the letters w-i-p-e-s and the phone guesses e-r-r-o-r because the letters are in a very similar position on a standard keyboard. (My shopping list just produced 'baby error' when I was trying to add baby wipes to the shopping list on my phone.)

Swype?

Edit: Haptic is the buzzy vibration when you tap a button/keyboard

I have to fill the car up with petrol today. The price, locally, varies from £123.9 ppl to £141.99 ppl!!

Guess which one I'm going too? 🤔
It's a Shell garage, not a supermarket either!

Bright sunny morning but still very cold. Got wakened just after 5 o'clock this morning by flashing lights as the gritting lorry went past.
After the rain yesterday a sharp frost overnight will make the roads "interesting". Glad I am not heading for the early boat today.
The wind has gone down so should be less windchill but my usual triking route may be a bit dodgy with ice.
Calmac are still putting out disruption warning so still some wind to come for a short spell anyway.
Sunday before the temperature is forecast to rise a bit.

Off to see my new nephew this morning, all socially distanced in a wet garden.

Apple call theirs "Slide To Type".
I checked.

I have now learned that Swype was a company but it's no longer used. Android uses Flexsy.
Also, if you try to swype Swype by swyping you get sword.

If I touch the G key and make a figure of 8, eventually I get 'Gridiron'

Before going on holiday, I carefully ordered five 3" spring clips for model making:

Oops.

Turns out I ordered five packs of five spring clips instead.

Another moment where I'm reminded my German is fluent and generally fairly good, but I can easily make mistakes...

You could use them as clothes pegs if you were to run out !

Morning .
Our kitten came rushing in all fluffed up ! A dog barked !

Genevieve or February depending on which direction I start off in.
