So that’s it - I’ve finished today.

That’s just over three years of morning entertainment ( with breaks for holidays), for which I am hugely grateful.

It turns out the best album on the list is Miles Davis - Birth of the cool.

and the worst scum - Napalm Death ( although kid rock tried very hard to be worst).

So…what’s next ?

I’ve just got an ooni 12, wood/charcoal. I’ve done one fire and got the stone to 330C ( it was -2C outside) the pizzas were good, but a bit soggy under.

any advice on best way of firing to get the temps up ?

Bit of a weird one - I’m emptying a relatives house and I’ve come across an xd card which might have family photos on it.

No one uses xd cards anymore.

Anyone know of anywhere that has an xd reader ? ( boots don’t)

Amtrak have put a bus bridge in between Fort Worth and Austin because of a derailment and ferrying passengers from 22 & 21 between the two.

Does anyone know anymore ? Even better any pictures of the derailment to while the time away while we wait ?

17th may - just out of interest, does anyone know why it was cancelled today ?

England

I’m posting this on behalf of an elderly neighbour. A van driver reversed onto their drive to turn round and smashed the fence on the way out. Probably about £1000 in damage.

They stopped and apologised and left a phone number.

The incident is captured on security camera.

The van driver is now refusing to give any information as to insurance or registered keeper.

What should my neighbour do ?

Burning by The Sweet (1975) British glam rockers, is a pound shop knock-off of the immigrant song.

Worth a listen, probably not more than once, or maybe twice.

Maybe they are all busy picking fruit and veg ?

I’ve tried a couple from amazon and they’ve all failed within weeks, any that I might have better luck with ?

Hi all

In England-

I’m the executor for an elderly relative who left a smallish amount of money to charity A.

It appears that this charity stopped operating before my relative died.

We have now been approached by charity B who say that the merged with charityA and so are due the bequest.

I’m truggling to find any public documents from A or B that substantiate this. I have asked B but they have unforthcoming and really they just insisted on a cheque.

I’m not trying to avoid paying what is right, so any suggestions where and what evidence I should be looking for ?

I’m thinking of changing to marathon plus. Other than being sods to fit, anything else I should think about ?

Can anyone tell me if there is a safeish cycle route from Bath Spa station to the Bristol and Bath cycle way ?

I'm thinking of getting a P6R. Anybody got any thoughts or advice before I commit ?

Edit. Mostly I will be city riding, but I am hoping to take a tour around Lake Constance. I tend to ride in quite hilly areas. I'm 6ft. Does any of that help?

I've started monitoring the onboard temperature on my pi2 B which runs 24/7 monitoring my emails and taking pictures to make a daily tiimelapse.

Most of the time it is averaging about 43.5C. After 5 minutes 100% activity processing jpgs into a video it gets up to about 52C. But 27 seconds later, after emailing the video the reported temperature has dropped back. Actual readings below.

15:56:16 temp=51.9'C 15:56:43 temp=45.5'C

Do we think that rate of temperature drop is real? It seems fast to me.
