No fox action to report today. No wildlife at all. The lake cam just had one recording at 1am but couldn’t see anything and in fact it was v fuzzy, as if a spider had woven its web over the lens. Not sure it could have been this though as the cam would have recorded the spider movement in building the web. Looking and listening to some of the other cameras suggests it was chucking it down around that time so it may just have been atrocious weather. I’ll check later.
Busyish day ahead. Conf call at ten. Gosh. Not an onerous one. None of them are onerous. Then physio at one thirty. Thassit.
To the shed at nine nineteen. Sat down, at which point a ginger tomcat strode purposefully along the path between the lake and the deck. Didn’t get my phone out in time for a pick and then remembered the lake cam. Just the blurriness of earlier so I went out to inspect. Lots of condensation all over the cam including each lens and sensor surface. A simple remedy. Pulled out a microfibre cloth I’d brought along for the purpose and gave the cam a wipe over. Instant results as you will see from the before and after shots. No sign of the tomcat which would ordinarily have been captured by the cam so I think we have to write off any sightings that might have occurred overnight. Norrabiggie.
We clearly had a lot of rain as the rescue boat is hull down in the water, straining at its mooring. The only thing keeping her from sinking is the line used to tie her up and her inbuilt anti-sinking tech construction, ie light plastic. Will need to bale her out at some point but this is something I might ask THG to help with as I can’t bend down that low at the moment. THG is out right now at weight training classes. Irrlweight
Noticed btw that at HipHop2 + 10 the hip does tend to get a bit sore. I checked this same day after HipHop1 and saw that I said I’d taken some ibuprofen as well as paracetamol due to the soreness. This does help me realise that things will get better. I can’t complain as I haven’t had to resort to the strong pain killers/morphine I have as a backup. Just have to be patient.
During my static hours of leisure I’ve started looking at shirts. My god the selection you have at mainstream clothing outlets is bland in the extreme. I googled buy “cool design mens shirt”. The only shirts I like the look of came from dodgy sites that brought up red warning signs on trustpilot or are made out of polyester. This is work in progress.
You do have to ask yourself what it is about blokes that means they only wear bland design clothes. Trouble is I’m sure that there are more interesting designs out there if you are willing to spend a ridiculous amount of cash. Remember you are talking to someone who traditionally buys his clothes in clearance sales or when travelling to lower cost parts of the world where you can get made to measure clothes for next to nothing. Problems problems eh?
