Today has a distinctly Saturday feeling to it though I've no idea why.

So, a quick outing to the supermarket mainly for bread and avocados, but also to fill up with petrol. For possibly the first time ever, I paid over £50 to fill up. Chocolate and ice cream found their way into the basket despite not being on the list.

About a minute after I got home, the skies opened up, and I realised I'd timed my outing perfectly. A quick crack of thunder and now a perfectly blue sky through a very wet window.

I spent a fair bit of this afternoon converting this computer to Linux: It was using Win10 and was apparently "too old" for Win11. From experience at work Win11 is better avoided anyway.

So far it seems to be working bar a couple of niggles, so that's another blow against the global capitalist machine.

A new niggle: computer won't switch on.


A brief phone conversation with the local computer repair shop suggests it's Linux interfering with the way the computer switches on. As the laptop is second hand, and I owned it for seven years, I've been advised that there's no point in repairing it, because the issue is the OS doesn't work with the computer itself.

Loading Linux wiped the hard drive so I can just take it to the tip...

Lunchtime stroll swapped for a lunchtime ride to swap a 3" piece of banana loaf for some flapjacks

Back home and the summer continues - one minute it's sunshine, then this drops a 10 minute deluge including thunder, lightning and a good deal of hail

and then it passes and instantly back to bright sunshine resulting in...

I picked grandson up from school today as daughter was having her crohns infusion. We went to the park for a while as it was sunny but a big black cloud was heading our way so we left.
Just as we got into the car on the outskirts of the village (I park there & walk as it's pointless driving in, though many do) the heavens opened!! Absolute cloudburst!
