Up at 6.30 after a fairly quiet night. My back was killing me when I got up! Was it the mowing?
Cooking class today. I have colour recipe papers again. After a long time with black and white. The HP printer would not recognize its own obscenely expensive "economy sized" ink cartridges. So when it stopped feeding paper as well it was quickly replaced by a budget Canon ink jet printer.
Now the Canon wants to update its firmware. As I don't have a Masters degree in Canon updating textual nonsense it is likely to remain "unimproved." Fortunately it produces excellent prints as is. So I won't repair what's not broken.
Besides, I did not take the option of the accessory Atomic Tunneling Microscope. To be able to read the sub-micro [3 micron] text on the sub-miniature display panel. There is somebody very twisted at Cannon to have let that become an official feature. Nepotism? Probably.
In fact the updating was only a matter of repeatedly pressing the OK button to prompts on the tiny screen. Read with the aid of my trusty 10x compound, magnifying glass. Job done. Now it will probably start misbehaving. Or displaying adverts on the tiny screen! 😱
I have now heard back from the county council about the overgrown, larch hedge. They have decided that it does not present a serious hindrance to normal movement along the drive. I may trim the hedge to ensure free passage but may not damage the hedge.
So any plans to take a chainsaw to the trunks at head height is obviously out of the question. The image [top right] shows the towering hedge. The hedge in the foreground is the legal height for a shared, boundary hedge.
I have discovered the name of the investment company. Which I am presuming is [slowly] repairing the house for rental. One might have hoped the recent run of fine weather would have signaled the arrival of more builders.
13.45 Back from cooking class. Where I made beef burgers.
No dinner required. So I used the time to wash up instead. 😇
