Morning.
Sunny here with quite a bit of thin cloud . We had another bit of a frost in the night.
Our little one is up the garden . He fancied having a go at a Wood Pigeon and was sneaking up behind some raspberry bushes. Not sure what happened . I think the pigeon moved off somewhere else .

When are people going to cotton on to " The Emperor's New Clothes " about all of these house design programmes and realize that they are being sold shoe boxes!
"Quick ! The client is arriving in a few minutes time and we haven't got anything to show him !" " Cut the side out of that shoe box and paint it grey, they won't know the difference ! "

Start the day in angry mode courtesy of the nice folks at Google.
Google chrome for android V90 brings with it Google forced re-education via a stupid grid view of open browser tabs.
This is just dandy if you are staring at a tablet screen, not so dandy on a little phone screen with page thumbnails smaller than a postage stamp and mostly unidentifiable.
For the past few weeks it has been a chore but simple enough to revert to a vertical cascade of page tabs via chrome://flags/#enable-tab-grid-layout but today I spent some effort in wheedling out the pesky grid view.

Chrome resides as far away from my Home screen as possible!
I use Brave for CC and sites I want to keep, and Duckduckgo as my browser for one off searches etc as it dumps cookies and history when it's closed.

Peppa pig is ideal for relaxation

"The Big Knights" by the same company as brought the relaxing Peppa is quite the opposite.
Violence in abundance and shouty Brian Blessed. I seriously doubt it was made for kids.

My hair has grown down past the top of my ears, first time since 1978.

I'm using the Samsung web browser on my phone and tablet, on my desktop I use Firefox, all with DuckDuckGo.

The milk is just about to turn, which has made my morning tea less than optimal. Luckily, I drink my coffee black so that's the plan while the next pint begins to defrost.

Duckduckgo is my default search engine on all browsers. They also have a privacy browser. It's very good 👍🏼

Why is it that cats can move silently when they want to and at others drown the sound of a herd of elephants at a disco !

If you set your browser to open as it was when you last closed it, cyclechat will be there every time you open the browser.

Another flaming cold ride to work this morning - can't we return to the warmth we had during lockdown 1 (but without the lockdown obviously).

It's actually been quite a good day at work so far. Tickets have been booked for two gigs in Nottingham, along with the associated hotels so that I can have a few days away, plus an alert has been set up on Trainline ready for when they release the cheap rail tickets. As for work - not a sausage
