Got halfway to the bus stop to go to the pool and realised I didn't have my shoulder bag. Sprinted home, got it, and made it to the bus.

Got off the bus at the other end, realised Sophia's bag didn't have her swimming costume in it. Got a bus home, grabbed it, now in a taxi.

Fingers crossed that nothing else comes between me and drop-off and work!

Time marches on

As of this morning (2nd of July), we are now closer to 2050 than 2000.

"Sophia, will you pose with your brother for a photo?"

"I will, but I'm very angry about it!"

Rebuilding journal search again

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

We had a nice day on the beach in North Berwick. A few of Sophia's old nursery friends, getting back together, with a few siblings thrown in. They got on like it wasn't mostly a year since they last saw each other, and they had a ball digging holes, wading through seaweed and climbing on rocks. The weather was just as fabulous as it looks here.

A complaint about modern life.

When I am Emperor anyone selling bowls, plates, etc will have to certify whether you can microwave food in them without them getting hotter than the food.

Is microwave transparency really too much to ask?

Netflix Binge: Dept. Q

Kevin and I just binge-watched this entire series Sunday. I snagged the first episode Friday night and then Sunday morning, I took it up again and watched episode 2 and part of 3. When Kevin woke up, I restarted the series and we were hooked.
If you liked The Blind Spot or British police procedurals like Midsomer Murders, this is a welcome series. There is only one season and it's all wrapped around a single cold case - which is the "schtick": they are solving cold case files. This show came out at the very end of May so the jury is still out if there will be another season. I hope so. This has legs and is set up smoothly for more seasons.
The characters are NOT predictable or animated tropes. In fact, there is a lot of solid character backstory and development to redeem even the most unlikable or annoying characters. Don't look up the actors in the middle of it - I did and it gave away a piece of the plot. Oooof.

Give it a watch and please give it a thumbs up - or even 2.




Warning: Excessively Scottish. Have subtitles on if you have trouble with accents. Sound quality is excellent, though.

First climbing experience, and after an hour of trying different walls Sophia made it to the top!
