It's nearly hot chocolate time.

A quiet evening has been had consisting of nothing other than catching up with internet stuff and finishing off Private Eye with the football commentary on in the background as a brain distraction.

Now sampling a new, to me, whisky while listening to boom radio and reading “The Armour of Light”, Ken Follett.

Whisky is a 16yo Jura bourbon cask. very peaty, very nice

That's a tall order. I'll deal with civilization if someone will take on the warp drive.

That's up to Zephraim Cochran. I have little grasp of physics, despite being a spouse of a person who worked in a University physics department as non-scientific personnel for decades. I could go to lectures and understand most of what was going on, but much of my scientific education centered around invertebrate biology.

LOS

See you round the other side, Artemis II

Listened to a piece from Reid Wiseman, commander, last night, where he was saying the crew had seen the earth in full eclipse from the far side of the moon.
Apparently the only place to see this eclipse of the earth was midway between the two bodies. (I presume he meant midway between the earth and moon.) Which doesn't make sense if they were on the far side, from our point of view.

Signal reacquired. They get to see a solar eclipse next. Lucky.

Morning.
Lovely and sunny here with a clear blue sky.
I managed to get out for a ride yesterday afternoon. I had to swap my bikes over from the one I intended to use, the wheel I had fitted to one bike had the wrong rear sprockets.
I was determined to get out as I have had enough of being grounded by the fairies which had gone and wanted to try out my Garmin Edge 130 plus. It's a bit complicated for me. Need to study the instructions more.

We went to Lidl yesterday and bought a few things. I went and searched the centre Isle and they have some cycling stuff. Drinks bottle holder, nylon cycling socks, and a pair of cycle lights. I must say that the front light looked really good in the dark last night.

Well it was chilly and the grass verges and some car roofs were frosted on my pre work ride to drop off the soft plastic recycling.

Clear blue sky and sunshine, the moon was still visible when I set off.
