An osprey has been flying around my neighborhood  a lot lately

The raptor?  Or the tilt wing military aircraft?

(And the football is on.  Just saying.)
Ever got that feeling that you're trying to teach a dog a card trick?

The raptor.    There are a lot of them around town most I have seen in years.

My old laptop's Ubuntu install is finally ready to upgrade, two months after the new version was released.

The moors are beautiful this time of year - all purple heather and waving grasses. Also saw a pair of curlews fly straight across the road in front of us on Bingley Moor the other day heading back from Leeds - a wow moment.
arsebiscuits!

Today, it rained on the motorway. Only the motorway, nowhere else.

We had a spattering of rain as I was taking the cub to the playground, but nothing deterring.

Did you know that you have to wear a mask while playing the pokies at the pub in NSW, but if you have a free glass of water in your hand that you pretend to sip on (or a beer whatever you prefer) you can play with your mask off? You still have to have a mask in your possession though.
I've inadvertently discovered a loop hole here. Somebody could get one of those drinking hats and go a full day without putting their mask on.

Even though my job is a hellhole, it's a learning experience many like myself must go through... if you are wanting to be cooperative with your fellow human beings NT or not... You need to stop having a pity party all the time.

There's some great footage of this sort of thing on Youtube. Cracks me up every time, especially when they don't even slow down when approaching the bridge.
