Andy In Germany has been missing for a while. Wasn't there a positive test where he worked.

Hope it's not got him.

Was thinking the same... Pawsies crossed...

Well, my scanner is broken.

It's served me well for 20 years, but I think it's ready for the great electronic scrapheap in the sky. I've tried everything that I can think of to get it going again, but it's not having it.

It's not the power cable, nor is it the USB-Firewire cable. The scanner turns on, but then it just sits there. The scan head doesn't move, nor will the scanner communicate with my laptop. And no, I didn't delete the drivers by mistake.

Is this on the newer laptop?

No, fraid not.

It had developed some weird bright streaks in the scans a while back, which, while annoying, was liveable with. But now it won't scan anything at all.

Sounds terminal, just get one of your moggies to give it a cat scan just to make sure

Hit it with a 4lb lump hammer.

If that doesn't work it is definitely broken...

Planned to go bed early tonight as have my usual long Wednesday commute tomorrow and have been knackered today.

But still up and just made a brew and biscuits. Despite knowing the benefits I'll get from them, I find early nights devilishly hard to achieve!

Rain forecast tomorrow morning - I knew I did the right thing getting rid of my car post lockdown...
tomorrow would def be one of those days I would have driven

One of my cycling buddies has just tested positive for the pestilence. Luckily, I've not seen him for a while!

I just realised why Elon Musk has always made me uneasy. He reminds me of Oscar Pistorius.

I know that some families prefer funerals to be just close family, and a few very close friends. At the beginning of the Lockdown, March 2020, here in the UK, only six people could attend funerals. It increased to thirty people a few months ago. From my point of view, there will be close contact and hugs, at a funeral.

true that & I was only 1 of 2 wearing a mask it was good that I went

Time to put the writing away and head off to bed via a nice hot bath.
