Lovely day out in the sunshine - apart from the A14 traffic queues both ways ('police incident' heading in and long term roadworks/heavy traffic) heading home). Just short of 3 hours bimbling around on the busways, cycle lanes and river towpaths in the Cambridge area.

Got home and found out that my broadband has gone down. An external fault according to BT which means that Open Reach are going to have to look into it with a projected fix of 'by 23:59 on 20/09/23'. Just hope I don't run out of data while hotspotting the Chromebook and watching the sports apps.

Doubt the likes of Binks or Close would have given it a thought.

Anyone within range of a bat. Possibly one no longer in one piece and me holding only the handle.*


*Happened twice that did.

Nice morning here for a change.

I have only four hours of enslavement to endure this morning before I am free for the weekend.

And only the three hours to do it in!

I slept later than usual this morning.

Looks like another wet one. I'll need an umbrella ☔ for my perambulation.

Morning .
Georgie was eagerly awaiting my slow arrival downstairs this morning. My back seems to have got worse over night . I gave him his sachet of food and after he had some he sat there and looked at me licking his whiskers . I think he was happy .
The weather here seems to be changing. It looked promising to start with but it keeps getting a bit murky . I think rain and thunderstorms are forecast.

I'm happy with my two lenses that I just bought. They both have their good and bad points . I haven't been able to do a great deal with them but I like them so far. The Tamron zoom is good at the close to medium range at the moment, it was alright with the Red Arrows but the auto focus can hunt at times so I switch it to manual. The Sigma is better at the longer ranges and is pretty good at aircraft leaving vapour trails . Alright , they are not pin sharp but hand held on a plane a couple of miles away I think is pretty good. I haven't found a sharpening tool on our computer so all I have done is to crop and boost the contrast . I would like to try a picture of the moon but is doesn't appear to be about at the moment.

Local road signs in Wales look to have been updated. All the 30's seem to have a removeable '3'. Someone will be busy tonight.

Good morning from a still sunny & warm Suffolk where the first cuppa of the day has just been finished. Need to pop out later this morning to get snacks in for tomorrow as it's truck racing & the Classic Touring Car Club race day at Snetterton.
