Friday 5th 59F/15C [7.40] A wet morning, with light winds. Followed by sunshine later this afternoon.
Up at 6.50 after a quiet night and deliberately dozing until I became bored.
I was considering a walk but it is already raining quite hard. I could hear it falling on the greenhouse roof. As I gave the fish their breakfast.
11.15 Returning from a short walk along the road.
It rained later.
14.30 After lunch I tidied upstairs in the bedroom. Mostly reminding myself what was up there. I found even more boxes of glass and china! Then onto the balcony room. Sort through all the boxes and tubs again. Drag the huge volume of hifi, computer, astronomical and electrical cables across the room. Nest and throw all the empty boxes to the other end.
I found some useful stuff. Which should have been more accessible. Mostly tools. I should move some steel shelving out there. Lift the tubs off the floor. Where they can be more easily seen. Take up less room on the floor.
18.00 When I became bored with tidying upstairs. I decided to try using my laptop again. To see if my astronomical cameras were still working. I want to have another go at solar imaging with my little Lunt solar telescope. It is ages since I last used any of it. Though I replaced the battery a couple of years ago and kept it topped up. Every piece of software wanted to update. Including those I wasn't interested in using any more.
I hate the tiny text on the small screen. I always used a 28" HD monitor in the observatory. Now a 32" 4K screen on my PC indoors. I could never get on with the touch pad either. So I had to find a working mouse and matching receiver. So I could continue to use the PC alongside the laptop.
Dinner was a chicken omelette. It broke up as I lifted it out of the frying pan. The tensile strength of fried eggs is not all they are cracked up to be. 😉
