Every morning when I get up I bundle up my clothes from yesterday and chuck em in the laundry basket. I never miss. Ok I occasionally might if a sock comes free from the bundle. This is true even if I am lying prone in bed. I’ve tested it out. This morning the washbasket has been moved further away – we are moving things around in readiness for the decorating that will happen later this week. Didn’t miss that one either. The answer is not to think about it. Just turn and throw. Bit of sorting to do today. Room clearing in advance of the aforementioned decorating.
Good curry at Castle View last night fair play. Had a lamb madras. Couldn’t quite manage it all as I was full but it was just the right level of heat. Their naan breads are great. We shared a chicken chat starter. In consequence I’m feeling v full this morning. Need to decide whether to delay breakfast or skip it entirely. The moment of decision has not yet arisen as our visitors are still in bed. No rush innit.
Absolutely chucked it down while we were out but fortunately one of us was driving and we got a free parking spot right outside the Strugglers. Result. Felt obliged to have a couple of TT Landlords in the pub before heading for the indian. Twas planned. Don’t get to the pub, any pub, that often these days. How times change.
Very much noticed the AWS outage yesterday. Ancestry was so slow it wasn’t really worth using. Was taking my sister Ann through the results of my research. Realised that this was not a 30 minute job as there is so much to say. How do you describe two hundred and fifty years of time in thirty minutes? You can’t.
The lesson from the AWS incident must be that global platforms can’t rely on one cloud provider even though their cloud pitch is resilience. It is more expensive to have to run two clouds so that’s a difficult call to make. I don’t suppose it really matters when it comes to Ancestry as long as it isn’t a regular occurrence. Not going to get much done this week anyway but will have a month or so of not putting weight on the new hip where I might expect to make some progress.
No fox visits last night. Cat came out on the prowl shortly before three am. Would be interesting to plot the progress of the fox around the area. It must visit most back gardens around us. Not sure what it finds to eat.
It is ten o’clock. THG has gone out running with the Pink Ladies Running Club and I am relaxing. Sbeen a hectic few days. Couple of weeks really. Life is short. Keep it hectic. You do need the occasional break. The entertainment this morning is falling leaves. Don’t have to wait more than about ten seconds to see the next one flutter by. Drift by my window. Relaxing. Leads to work though. The lawn will soon be covered.

After lunch I made a start on sorting my collection of screwdrivers. The good ones such as Stanleys have been separated into their own box and a great many put in the bottom of the old tool box just in case they are ever needed again. I only threw one, phillips, driver. Should have thrown more really. The bottom of the screwdriver box also revealed miscellaneous screws and bits and bobs, some of which have been tidied away and others put in a different tray for further analysis. The Allen keys are now in their own box. I have a goodly collection of Allen keys.
Also mowed the lawn, packed for tomorrow and finished moving all the clothes out of my wardrobe.
