Much as I’ve enjoyed using Adobe Photoshop over these past 4 years, it’s now time to ditch it and return to Affinity. Adobe are becoming a pain in the arse with their policies, and do not inspire trust or belief at all now. Affinity have an offer of £59.99 for Photo + Designer + Publisher […]
Great to catch sight of a pair of buzzards circling for ages over the west side of Greno this afternoon. Not rarities, but they’re magnificent birds. And another one the next morning, very clear in the bright sunshine. Didn’t hang around long, though, as it was being harassed by a couple of jackdaws.
Not sure which is the more surprising – that Easter pic of gridlock, or this pic of an open-topped doubledecker (Peak Sightseer) about to tackle a clear Winnats.

… some time… Had an e-mail from Openreach this morning to say that they’ve added our address “to our build plans”. I suppose it’s reason for mild optism (and nice to know that Grenoside has not been forgotten in the grand scheme of things), but would be truly amazed if it happened this year. I

I really should have done more checking on people’s experiences with the HP Instant Ink scheme. I don’t print often (use scanning more than printing), and £0.99 per month for 15 pages with free replacement ink seemed bearable. But the price rocketed up to £1.49 in January, so I foolishly thought I could empty the
Pic from themanc.com. This was Easter Sunday or Monday, taken from the top of Winnats Pass, looking down to Castleton. Utterly mind-boggling. A narrow two-lane road trying to turn into three lanes… Probably created by idiots parking up by the roadside. Happy Easter, folks!

I think I’m entitled to a little self-indulgence… I came across the letter I got from Oxford letting me know the results of my Prelim exams in 1969. Which includes the infamous 123% I was given for the maths paper. All I can think is that the examiimers must have set a limit on the
