Lovely moonlit night with little or no wind for a change. Had a nice twenty miler. Surprising amount of traffic.

Youtube started playing silly beggars a couple of weeks ago saying I had to login to google to access it so I duly set up a Gmail account and everything was back to normal however I got a popup saying that google doesn't believe I'm over 18 so are putting restrictions on my searches unless I can verify my age by one of 3 different methods, entering my credit card details, posting photo ID or sending them a 'selfie'

Well I don't have a credit card, nor do I have any photo ID (no passport or driving licence) and no phone to take 'selfies' with so I guess I'm stuck.

No looking at naked women for me.

Sounds more like a phishing scheme to me. Why would your credit card details have anything to do with it? A.I. can be used, via these forms of information, to create another "you" which can be used to impersonate you on the web and rob you.

I've certainly not had any issues like that with Youtube. Unless you subscribe to get the ad-free version, it's free to use without any fannying around.

First cuppa brewing
Dark and possibly drizzling in Numpton
According to the clock on the wall it's 8.45

I'm up. Dog's already been out in the garden tiddling. Tea's brewed and poured. Birthday (chocolate fudge) cake has been baked and will be ready to be decorated when it's cooled.

After a brief break in service yesterday where the sun shone, engineers have worked through the night normal weather service has been resumed. We have wind and rain again.

First cuppa went down well unaided
School run today
And a drive along the A45 again

It's drizzling ☔

Good morning.

Last night I unblocked the washbasin.

Morning.
It is still dark outside.
I just saw an advert on the TV for Doritos. Spiced cardboard! I can't stand them ! It got me thinking! I can't stand rice cakes either. Circular expanded polystyrene discs! Yeuk!
Can you think of other food which is tasteless or that should be put in the recycling bin?

Eggs belong in cakes or the bin

I have finished reading another book. It was a bit of a struggle! I had to read some sentences several times to get their meaning. Perhaps that was why it was in a cheap bookshop. The book was interesting and explained what was going on in the North African campaign in WW2. Normally they just talk about Egypt to Algeria but this book explained that it also involved Palestine, Malta, Greece, Crete, and stretched all the way down to the Sudan.

Perambulation completed under the cover of an umbrella ☔

All ready for the last day of enslavement this week.

I had to accept my toothpaste tube was finally empty and open a new one.

Currently doing some background reading on Borderline Personality Disorder, as you do...

But buttery scrambled eggs! There's even merit in fried eggs with chips, particularly when there's tomato ketchup to set up a colour clash with the egg yolk.
