Would that be deliberate, do you think? I ask because I haven't noticed any posts announcing changes.

Meanwhile, Task Manager tells me that there's a Microsoft Modules Installer Worker sucking my computer's resources away from me.

Will that Modules Installer Worker return your computer resources when it's done.

Well I've been working out in the sunshine on the new old frame and have seen another frame number lurking underneath the paint .
The number runs across the bottom bracket and consists of 5 numbers .34336.

You'd hope so, wouldn't you?

No idea, but the swimming costume one I've just had is a departure from any of the banner adverts.

How can they charge so much for so little material?

Less is more... 😂

Morning from the shedoffice. Looking fine outside today. Forecast is some dry weather for the next few days.

Couldn't get much less and still have something there.

I'll try to translate that into a form of English that I understand later but first I'll try a reboot. M$ tells me that there is an update to be installed. That might get rid of the blighter.

Mild and breezy with sunshine and showers here chez Casa Reynard.

Spent a large chunk of the morning picking apples for storing. Another crumble looms using the damaged ones.

After lunch I have a bike ride planned, plus I have to do some judging in an online cat show. Then I might get some work done on the writing project.

After someone on here mentioning working at a desk while standing, I thought I'd have a bash and improvised a higher desk (yes, I put a huge plastic storage box on top of the desk then a flat board on top for my laptop to sit on with enough room to use a separate mouse). It's brilliant! No back pain, no restless feeling where I'm desperate to move about after 2 minutes sat at the desk. Yes, my legs were aching after hour three, but that is nothing compared to the back pain I get sat in a chair for half an hour. I shall continue standing while working at the computer for as long as I feel this good! Also, I could concentrate better - probably because I didn't have back pain distracting me.

I've been out on my bike this morning, a very enjoyable 53 miles in the autumn sunshine.

Currently waiting for a shower to move through before I can even think about a bike ride...

I may have been a bit naughty today.

Our resident idiot neighbour 'bob the builder' dumped a load of building materials on 'shared land' 12 months ago. We left it, and since the plants have grown over it we didn't bother. A couple of weeks ago he dumped a load more building materials including wall insulation (that's going to blow away first windy day) and stacked it over 5 feet tall. It's basically fly tipping.

Chatting to my neighbour last night and she's furious about it as all she can see from her front window is this pile of rubbish. I logged the issue with the council this morning. They called me straight away. I explained I'd not seen him do it this time, so no witness, but I had got him doing it last time. Explained about his 'violent' threats when he's ever confronted. Anyway, council rep was round a couple of hours later, and whilst she was 'investigating', bob the builder's wife was leaving the house. Anyway the council person had a conversation with her - probably owned up to it being their mess. Hopefully it will be properly removed now or he'll just add to it.

Well the 'Fluff' mystery has been solved, he's not been seen since Sunday and Maz was getting worried but after a chat with next door it seems he's taken up residence there for a bit, only fair as one of their Cats (Mao) lived at ours for a couple of months a few years back.

however I know something that 'Fluff' doesn't, next week Scott and Keighley are away and a mate is looking after the house/animals so I bet he'll be back at ours cos he doesn't like strangers.

We went out for our cycle ride. 13 miles in total . We cycled down a hill and walked back up a mountain .
