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.

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.

Somebody cut down a bunch of the wild blackberries where I walk the dogs by the river :grrr:

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.
