So far, I think the worst of #stormboelo has missed us. Other than rain, it was very quiet throughout the night. Chucking it down now, but nothing more than a slight breeze.

Stormy Saturday night.

Getting a bit lively out there with #stormboelo starting to head in

Doing radio, again!

Monday Frost & floodlit farmers

Ted in a sun puddle.

Awwwwww 🥰

Amateur radio history survives because people saved it. Much more was lost in attics and basements. 📻 Kay Savetz on recovering magazines, recordings, and manuals. 📚 "Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications" is in VANISHING CULTURE. 📖 Download & read, FREE: archive.org/details/vani...

Just ordered myself a sit stand desk. I am going to change the office/shack around. The plan is to get my radio's on the desk closer to my PC and screens.

FriYAY Sunshine & rainbows.

Done some radio! Got people in the log and everything. I do need to sort out my antenna situation. We are trying to move, so I have been putting off anything until we do, but the market is slow, so we probably won't move this year. So I think I may put a vertical up, be better than the EFHW

So Trump has just realised the optics of executing someone in a wheelchair by firing squad, on a livestream, may not be the best.

I know the answer to this but FML how mentally unwell is Trump? Why would anyone post those videos?

The noise floor has increased significantly since I last had the radio set up. Not sure what has changed, but it is S5-6 across the bands, which is annoying. I may look at a loop on ground for rx, a good excuse to by the 7300 Mk2.. But I don't have the money this month.

These kids chairs in the dentist waiting room are upsetting me. Some absolutely feral animal, put the back on one of the chairs on wrong. Why would you do this?!

Broken tooth. It had root canal work previously. Appointment to check what can be done. Needs to be crowned. As I was booking appointments for the work, late November being the earliest appointment a cancellation came in for this morning. I think you call that winning at Monday.

Monday. Head torch and hat this morning. Dentist next.

Chocolate Stout Another Aldi impulse buy

Hmmmmm Doner meat pizza from Aldi.

Hump day. We are almost at the point where we freewheel into the weekend. Blooming cold! Will need to get the big coat out soon, and my hat.

The Four Lions 'terror attack' has done something then.

First walk of the autumn with a torch.

Tul I Nord Imperial Stout

FriYAY The dogs were outstanding in their field. Orange skies

This dog is a dickhead.

Saturday beer. Zestiny mandarin pale ale.

BBC Scotland is possibly on the chopping block in the next round of BBC cuts.

Wednesday, not as nice as last Wednesday.

Here we go, Scotland bound.

Tuesday. Last day in Spain, back to Scotland this evening.

I have done some *really* sketchy stuff over the years to get things done. But this guy, no PPE, chainsaw chain doesn't stop when you release the handle, it merely slows down, a bit. Working it at eye level up a ladder. Nearly bounced himself off the ladder just now.

LOLs Top deal making for Trump. substack.com/@politicsusa...

Done the bins, in Spain. Much better system here, take your bin bags about 50 meters, chuck it in a trade waste style bin. No worries about what colour bin, just lob it in.

How's Monday shaping up for you all?

Piña Colada

Sunday morning reading.

Sunday. I never noticed these before today.

Beer. Mahout.

I always had Tom Watson down as one of the good guys. Now I am less sure about this assessment. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

First day doing brand marketing for Oxford United, it's going really well. Loads of coverage in the mainstream media already. #winning

Oh what’s this seismic event? Magnitude 3.4 but very shallow. Is it something other than an earthquake? Lots of infrastructure off the Lincolnshire coast.

FriYAY afternoon

Found the gift shop

I can see the sea.

FriYAY How's yours?

España. Estoy en ti.
