Well, one is. Had a visit to the back lawn yesterday afternoon. Problem is, new neighbours two doors down have two cats which are very inquisitive…

After using (“a version of”) Photoshop CS6 for many years, I decided to go legit. But at Adobe’s prices (over £100 a year)? Not for me, Clive. Saw a recommendation for Serif Affinity Photo somewhere and had a look into it. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to offer a trial version, so had to torrent one
A drive over to Bridlington on a sunny Bank Holiday Sunday… Set off early (7am) and quiet motorways all the way to Howden, thankfully. Finished the friends visit by early afternoon, so went on to Flamborough. Must be 45 years or more since I was last there but can’t say it’s changed much! I can
Having tried in vain to identify the location of a series of photos showing a castle, and only coming up with that it must be in the UK (building style, amount of clothes people were wearing, tulips coming out), but a Google image search on “UK castles” not being helpful, I discovered that Google can

Weather looks very promising for this week, so time for a brief (2.8 miles) walk at Ladybower. Been wanting to see the “plughole” by the dam for ages, and today gave a great opportunity.
Did a test the other day in some online newspaper that allegedly judges how “grown old” you have become: and scored 21/35 (if my memory is working…). So that means I’m 60% grown old? I think I’d settle for that! Had a search for another one today, and, doing a random selection of the first
Finally got round to buying a new phone, after plodding along with my 3-year old cracked screen Motorola. It’s a Xiaomi MI A1, and I have to say it’s quite impressive! Dual SIM, dual lens, same size as iPhone 7, 64Gb memory. It’s an AndroidOne phone, so gets all Google’s updates (for 2 years). Not
Today is like a dull, miserable November’s day. How different from yesterday’s sunshine and blue skies – perfect walking weather, so a 4-mile meander through the woods around Greno was called for.
