Got the ball rolling on the planning application issue and they now have a huge amount of local opposition.
Meanwhile I created a TV listings page for fun that uses the BBC api - I will expand it to the other channels when i have some spare time. I learnt a shed load of stuff building it.
Great tits are nesting under the eves which is about knee height as I sit so there is a lot of noisy nesting activity going on - but it's that time of year. i also purchased some new bird feeders from Finches Friend - really good but took the birds a few days to acclimatise to them. The nut hatches love it!
Back to bread making after a year off and discovered a new to me way of keeping a sourdough starter. Told my brother in law and he told me that's how he has been doing it for years. Thanks.
Work
Gone a little quite this year but that's ok for me - catching up on a lot of things I have been meaning to do.
If you want me to have a look at a project of yours, please do get in touch.
Hobbies
No progress on Whitesands Quay. Did some 3D filament printing this week and created some cable tidies and a storage system for tot top of my Bambu Lab X1-Carbon that fits nicely with the AMS on the top. Probably could do with something similar for the Elegoo Mars for the tools I use on that.
Gaming
Played Harold Halibut (not Henry Haddock as I keep calling it) and really enjoyed it though not a challenging game and it's a little bit sad in parts, but I kind of identified with it a bit.
Always happy to play online so please do invite me for a game of something! Me on board Game Arena.
Ideas
About Now Ideas is an interesting site that allows searching of small sites like this that have About, Now and Ideas pages. This site now has all three!
