I've only read Narnia (which I loved as a kid), I tried some of his adult sci fi ion my younger days and found the religious themes a bit heavy handed (I was really struggling with religion at the time). I will check out his non fiction at some point, thank you.
It looks adorable! 🥰
poppybear, heather and rob in the sunshine
first surgical referral done, time to PPPAAARRRRTTTTAAAYYYY!
Hello
A retro cassette player, two VHS tapes with a ration book on top and a card game.
Today’s car boot finds, The Exorcist and Das Boot on VHS, Vampire the Maquerade card game, a cassette player and a ration book. Going to mod the cassette player to accept Bluetooth.
A large set of cables, SCART leads and other wires.
Coming home there was a box in the street saying “free” which is usually full of Mills and Boon novels. OMG! There was a MIDI cable, two SCART leads, USB converters and loads of great stuff!
Or it could be a door. Once I was on a train and the toilet door made a squeak that sounded exactly like Micheal Jackson going owwww.
This page has a photo of traditional rail
with expansion gaps for heat (and therefore noise) and continuous welded rail. www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engin...
England has a lot of very old infrastructure, it has been around since the Victorian era (but maintained and replaced). A lot of Scotland’s rail has been upgraded with continuous welded rail, which is quieter. It isn’t that scotland has CWR and England not but there is more CWR in scotland.

Hopefully you can take your meds and sleep soon. Hugs.
Actually didn’t I microwave you some beef soup once? I don’t think you died.
I am happy to try and cook you meat but I don’t think I would do it well. Well done Heather!
Wow. I have only cooked meat once, some non veggie sausages. I have been veggie since 1997, have absolutely no idea how to cook meat. If I tried I would probably accidentally poison everyone.
I hassled our IT for literally two years to get us access, then trained the entire section how to use it and I still run lunchtime drop in sessions “today we are making an Indiana Jones style map”. If you want my user guides I wrote for them let me know. It is a good piece of software.
Sorry, that is really early.
You are getting up at 4.30ish? If you like I can call you and say “GET UP!” 😉
Plus QGIS has add ons like QGIS Hats. plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgis...
Having been getting angry at Arc for some months now and having used Mapinfo at work for 25 years plus I can say that QGIS is more stable and has more features than either.
Need to add glaciers (which are showing wrong) feature names and some other tidying.
A relief map of Iceland. The map is in green to brown terrain, the main settlements are marked.
Been making a terrain map to practice ArcGIS which I am new to. I’ve never made a relief map from DEM before, getting the colour balance between altitude and blending with the hillshade took ages. I am still not happy but it is a first try. Now I have the DEM I can make some 3D maps too. 🙂
A road of trees in white blossom with a red car right at the end of the road.
Cycling round collecting data this month. Today I was taken by this road of trees in beautiful blossom. 🥰 I also liked the funny red car at the end.
A white bass guitar with a jumping mushroom sticker.
Put the mushroom sticker on my bass.
Two OS Maps of Peterborough and Norwich, some rainbow fabric and some stickers of mushrooms and ghosts.
Went to Ely on the train and met a friend for lunch. I bought some rainbow fabric, two charity shop maps and some really cute stickers. 🥰
We had a Party of Woman candidate near us in 2024. She lost her deposit and helped split the right wing vote to help the Lib Dems win in that constituency.
A collection of seaglass on a black background. It is mostly white but there is some green and one piece of red.
Some of my sea glass collection, mostly collected from Norfolk beaches. I love the sea and I need to be near it sometimes.
Ah, I have barely been in that room. That would be why.
What room is it, I don't recognise it.
That is Poppy! Great photo. 😊
A collage of Doctor who autographs all dedicated to Rob or Robyn, top row Nichola Bryant, Louise Jameson, Jo Martin. Middle row Katy Manning, Colin Baker, Peter Davison, Sophie Aldred. Bottom row Sylvester McCoy, Bonnie Langford and Tom Baker.
Had such a great time at Bedford Who con yesterday, some cons are just money grabbing and queues but this is such a warm supportive space. Almost everyone there seemed to be disabled or neurodiverse or trans. I got two new autographs, here is some of my Doctor Who autograph collection.
