A better day – 8 October 2023

A wee bit drier today.

Scamp went out in the afternoon to get some ‘messages’. Just the essentials for dinner. When she got back I took the A7 and the new toy for a walk in St Mo’s. PoD turned out to be a retake of a shot from yesterday. This one was much better. Still not very much direct lighting, but at least it was dry. I’ll take that any day.

In the last week I’ve damaged another SD card trying to fit into the reader’s slot in the back of the iMac. It’s a stupid place to put the slot, but it makes the computer look sleeker, apparently. Probably there is an argument for removing the neat little door in the back of the iMacs that allowed you to upgrade the memory at home. Apple can be thoughtless ba$tards at times, and that dollar sign is the reason they for it. They just don’t care about anything else. Anyway, luckily Mr Bezos was able to send me a plug-in card reader that now sits in an easily accessible position next to my mouse mat.

Dinner was a ‘heat at home’ curry from M&S. Mine was a lot hotter than Scamp’s, but both were fine.

Spoke to Jamie in the evening and heard about the heatwave they had been having while we two days of rain. Still, at least he made good use of it by getting everything tidied up in the garden.

Sketch for today was a Toad, as requested in the prompt. Not a bad sketch I think. Not brilliant by any manner or means, but not a bad likeness considering I didn’t have a toad handy to act as a model.

It’s 00:29 on Monday morning just now and I’m writing this blog while I glance at the Quatar GP. Later today we may go out for a walk if it stays dry!
