Where's yer bin.I as bin asleep in the conservatory where's you bin.

There's a big bin on the ground floor. Because I'd be bound to miss otherwise, I use the chute on the 5th floor, which ingeniously guides the rubbish into it. Recycling, however, is not that clever so I have to take that down myself and stick it in a different big bin.
I'm a has bin who had bin.

It's a good job you can seperate your bin waste otherwise you might have been bin laden.

I went down to Lacock on my Carlton Cobra . We had forgotten my brother's milk and cheese earlier. 8 pints of milk and 2 large packs of cheese on my back . I was glad to drop that load off . It was nice and sunny but quite a strong wind from the East . Another 9 miles .

First day at the new job tomorrow, packing the bag.

Thanks to @HobbesOnTour and others for the tips about Ortlieb bags: they've been in daily use since I got here and they're really as good as you said...

I've been playing chess with this travelling set since I was about 5. That would be 40 years, then...

Pssst! I think your horse is dead.

I had the munchies so I had an apple and cheddar cheese.

good evening by the way, I hope you all had an interesting and productive day.

Have you ever wondered what a 45 gigapixel image looks like? Well, here's one:
http://hyper-resolution.org/view.ht...ijksmuseum/SK-C-5/SK-C-5_VIS_20-um_2019-12-21
You can zoom in either by left-clicking part of the image, or by moving the mouse scroll wheel forward. Zooming out can be done by moving the scroll wheel backwards. Panning (dragging left/right/up/down) can be done simply by left-click and drag. It's interesting to zoom in a lot, and see the detail on one particular part of the painting.

I think this one held the pixel record at one time. I don't know if it still does. Its a mere 320 Gigapixel panorama of London and it scrolls! Near the centre of the picture is a white building in the distance - if you zoom right in you can see the London Eye next to it.

Well I never! Judging by the eBay reviews, I thought it would be some kind of a miracle if the ludicrously cheap Chinese tachometer module actually managed to work. It did. Spot on 180 rpm. View attachment 522128

What was doing 180rpm?

 

[slowmotion]

What was doing 180rpm?

A stepper motor. You can see that there's a small disc with a black spot on it stuck to the side of the motor shaft. It's a magnet. The shiny thing with the threaded barrel (clipped to a handy reel of full-fat leaded solder) is a Hall Effect sensor which issues an electrical pulse every time the magnet passes it. The tachometer module displays the number of pulses per minute.
