As I drove home from last
night's night shift this
story in the news made me snigger. Yesterday an ISIS jihadi
posted a selfie on-line. US forces were able to locate landmarks in
the selfie, and within an hour or so of the photo going on-line the
Americans had bombed that jihadi; and the (up till then)
secret base from which the selfie had been taken.
Once home I turned on my
lap-top. After yesterday's day of intensive PC maintenance I was
hoping for great things from it. In retrospect I was expecting too
much. I had been hoping that the thing would have been transformed
into HAL-9000. I suppose it is noticeably faster, but I still get
warnings about unresponsive scripts. That was one of the main things
I'd been trying to fix.
Various windows still
keep freezing too. I wish they wouldn't.
We then took "Furry
Face TM" on a little walk down through
Park Farm and home via "LegoLand" and South
Willesborough;pausing only briefly to chase frogs at Willesborough
Dykes and at at Asda for Belgian buns. Asda Belgian buns are smaller
than those touted by Morrisons, and slightly more expensive. Not that
I'm an expert on the matter.
Once home I barrelled the
forty pints of home-brew, had a quick shower, scoffed the bun for
lunch and took myself off to bed for the afternoon.
I slept well; I would
have slept longer had "Furry Face TM"
not been barking at the neighbours. He seems to have taken a dislike
to the new people. A shame really as they seem to be a great
improvement on some that we've had over the years.
The day between night
shifts is usually dull; and this one was no exception. I'm off to
another night shift now...
