Is it time for dinner?

Sunshine

The boys taking advantage of some late February sun to top up on the Vit-D.

Surprising how quickly your friends turn up when there's Sticky Toffee Pudding up for grabs.

Is it normal for it to look like this?

Lower Beach

A morning walk to Lower Beach. After the storm (storm Franklin, the next one after Eunice and high tide, the incoming waves up the estuary looked eminently surfable. But in the pictures you can't see that.

Oh, BTW today the government announced the end of COVID restrictions. It's been a while: 38,409 cases per day and 160,610 official UK deaths.

(I'm still trying to figure out why the family call me the GRoC)

Another little run around the Little Petherwick loop. Hard work with the 50mph breeze.

There have been some complaints about the lack of colo(u)r, so I'm alternating a bit.

Bedside Reading

Unimpressed Yogi

Yogi in a breeze

Yogi was not impressed when F decided to wait at a bench for us to finish the walk. He ummmmed and ahhhhed and then took off like a rocket to find her.

F (the other one) was not impressed with my Yogi-control skills.

Survey Marker

Survey markers for, well, surveying. They're not messing around with these measured drawings are they?

Memorial Walk

A walk up to the memorial for the views.

After Storm Eunice

After storm Eunice

A was a tad breezy yesterday. 122mph at The Needles on the Isle of Wight.

A 50+mph headwind dropped the average mile per kWh somewhat.

Late night essay editing

Moral support as F wraps up History course work.

Use much not I am.

A work thread, out of control

The Elements of Typographic Style

A thread about the distinctiveness of a certain author's documents, resulted in an admission that said author owned a copy of The Elements of Typographic Style.

Infinidash

It then somehow descended into LinkedIn spam and recruiters looking for engineers with Infinidash experience.

Waiting for a paw wash

Yogi decided that the walk was a little too muddyโ€ฆ so he decided to camp out in the shower to wait for a bronze wash and dry. Clever pup.

Some things workish are a tad busy right now; Neil, Joe, both, neither; so decompressing with a lunch time walk.

And yes, the first picture was because of complaints that there have been too few pix of people on c r o s s o a k recently.

Who pulled the plug out?

Someone pulled the plug out

Tides gone out

Walking to grab my morning coffee I noticed the water in the inner harbour was a tad low. Was it the plug getting knocked out, or maybe it's time for an inspection.
