Monday 17th 48F, heavy overcast. Some sunshine promised depending on your tribal loyalties to the habitual seaweed fondlers.
Another grey walk to the lanes. Punctuated by different warblers at intervals along the way. Clockwork Starlings are suddenly a busy part of the landscape. Goldfinches in number too. Foraging for seeds on the overgrown weeds on the scruffier corners of what are loosely described as "gardens." Nothing has value until somebody else wants it. Or you try to trespass.
The fibre internet is unstable this morning. DOA on startup. Restarted W10 and then the fibre box when the default plaster didn't work. Followed by variable speed, topping out at 83Mbps. ISP still "guaranteeing" their minimum speed of 200Mbps. With never a breath of system "issues" on their sales and bragging website. Still 83Mbps after morning coffee.
Every day I go to the virtual supermarket to buy a 200g bag of flour. It is always only 1/3 full at the checkout. There is never more than 85g of flour. So I complain repeatedly to the staff. They always say; "But it's guaranteed to be full on our website! So it can't possibly be only 1/3 full! You'll have to pay for the full bag!"
Does not compute. 🤪
