@Andy in Germany - I've a typewriter from the late 30's / early 40's that belonged to my Grandfather. It's a QWERTY type but with adapted keys to type German letters, along with a couple of other languages.

It's so dark outside it is difficult to work out if it is AM or Pm!

Bugger - I've missed my birthday.

Wet and windy near Oban.
Good job I travelled yesterday as there are warnings of ferry disruptions due to high winds. No triking today then.
Strangely they sent me a warning about Fionnphort to Iona being probably off. This is not one I subscribe to so no idea why it came. Stranded in Fionnphort would not be good as it is not very big and overnight might need to backtrack at least 40 miles.
I used to enjoy the ferry journeys but now it is too much hassle and crowded with people.
In the past it could be a social occasion meeting people you had not seen for a while for a chat but now they are swamped in a sea of touroid and the passenger lift for mobility impaired passengers from the car deck is crowded with those too lazy to use the stairs.
I think I will just go and do a bit of shopping for non perishable stuff.

Anybody seen my records for Jan to May this year with my miles on ?
I wrote them down somewhere and now can't find them....

I noticed yesterday, 4.15 pm, there was still some light. Nights are drawing out already.

If you don't blink, there is a round orange thing in the sky

Morning .
The sun has just come out again . It is playing hide and seek amongst the clouds . I think it might have stopped raining for a while .
I went up the garden earlier . I filled up the Hedgehog's food bowl . It was empty today. I put a water butt back upright . It had fallen over . I put some sticks under the breeze blocks to level them up as they had sunk into the ground . I am now having a rest .

Time to get the refurbed Diamond Back filthy, and test out my Covid lungs. First ride in 8 weeks !

Let me know when they collect the gold bin and I'll come round to intercept.

Not my name, it's what the council call it.

Only then?

I think there's no hope for the rest of the time.

Have we met?

@Andy in Germany - I've a typewriter from the late 30's / early 40's that belonged to my Grandfather. It's a QWERTY type but with adapted keys to type German letters, along with a couple of other languages.

In theory I could set this keyboard up to work like a QWERTY.

Of course it's more fun to change someone else's, without telling them...
