Well at least the BBC is trying to get the facts across. Just a few from this useful article 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm in the husband crèche at the garden centre consuming a bacon and egg barm and a cappuccino whilst the boss is busy inspecting plants. That might be harmful to my credit card but at least I ate bacon.

Comprehensive dossiers now handed to police. Awaiting outcome with interest.

🥪 Crisp Sandwich Day is next month, so please do get in touch if you want to do something daft for it, whether it’s a workplace thing or you run a pub/cafe or you’re going to run around in a crisp sandwich suit, whatever

When your script to produce weather charts doesn't go quite as planned...

For the first time in 26 years I have no school age children so I can finally complain about how busy the roads are with parents on the school run.

More QMX+ progress. The GPS works with the antenna outdoors. So time and location are updated automatically. I've also been heard on WSPR so the transmitter works too. About 1000 miles / 1600 km with 1w is a good start. #HamRadio

I've just finished building my QRP Labs QMX+ kit. I was pleased to see it power on first time and the firmware update was easy too. I've listened to FT8 on 40/30/20m so the receiver seems OK. I'm half way through the operating manual and will try the TX when I've read the instructions. #HamRadio

We went to watch the end of stage 2 of the Women's Cycling Tour of Britain this afternoon. The cycling was over in about 30 seconds, but the rest of the afternoon was fun.

Where did the rain go? Forecast was for 4mm since midnight. Actual 0.2mm. It's supposed to rain until lunchtime but I'm waking up to a sunny blue sky morning.

I'm getting fed up with Bsky users who only accept replies from their followers. That's an echo chamber. Why can't Bsky give us a feed that only contains posts that we can reply to?

www.maptap.gg August 16 92🏆 99🎯 96🏅 96🔥 96🔥 Final score: 959 Another decent attempt.

An indication of how low crime levels are here. Someone has left their phone charging unattended at a charging desk next to us. That's in a very busy airport. Would you do that in the UK?

I've just been reminded how uncommon I am here. A young boy and girl asked to have their photo taken with the giant foreigner 🤣

It's time to go home. We're at Nanning airport waiting for our flight to Beijing and then onwards to Manchester. In 20 hours we should be home. Not sure when we'll be back but I'm sure it won't be too long.

China has a different definition of rush hour traffic. It seems to mean that you might only be able to drive at 50km/h.

The highest washing line I’ve seen has an amazing view. We’re staying in the 24th floor but you have access to the roof (33rd floor) to hang your washing and enjoy the views at the same time.

Another evening another meal. @wgoodf.bsky.social will be pleased to hear that we're having blood duck - that's duck cooked in its own blood to make the gravy.

Cantonese opera. I can't understand a word of it, but then I don't understand a word of most operas.

I'm guessing most people know where London is. I'm in a Chinese city, Nanning, that's nearly as big as London (8.5m vs London's 9m). How many of you have heard of Nanning or could point it out on a map?

Only a few more days of Chinese breakfasts before we're home. Today it's dumplings (pork and lotus root, and pork and sweetcorn) and warm soy milk. On Tuesday I'll be back in toast and coffee. Or maybe we still have some dumplings in the freezer. Nothing like fresh ones though.

Tonight's new food - pigs ear. It's a bit chewy but not too bad. Tonight's new drink - rose wine. It's a bit chewy but not too bad. Only joking, the rose wine isn't chewy. Washed down with about £100 of Maotai.

Cool looking Transformer in a Chinese shopping mall.

I'm just back from a 3kg walk. That's not a typo. I measure walks in how much sweat I lose on the walk🤣 31C feels like 37C at 8:30pm.

This chonky boy with a short tail is Chinese. The Chinese word for cat is māo which I’m told it’s pronounced like meow.
