@LoneLocust Actually probably more excited by ’The Avengers Suite’ (Laurie Johnson’s The Shake, theme from Dead Man’s Treasure, tag music, but all too short!) although not quite sure what version the mc had watched if he thinks they drank mostly tea… 🙄

The fact we had a power cut probably helped.
And e ail which reads “Hey Simon,
 
Congratulations – you successfully powered down during the eclipse!
 
Thank you for joining in and helping avoid fossil fuels during the solar dip.

During the session, your energy use was lower than it normally is at that time.”

#Eclipse dolphin
Image of the sun over the sea. The sun looks round despite still being eclipsed. But there is a dolphin fin protruding through the reflections on the water.

[UK politics, The Grauniad] Well, this will surprise James Murray.

Comparing “The One and Only Herb Mcgwyer Plays…” and “The Ballad Of…” #WallisIsland. I really like Key’s performance in the original. But it is excellently adapted. They really should have kept “it’s another Le Carre” though 👌

First time on a class 756. Walked through the corridor of light.
The enclosed passageway through the short battery coach, with no windows just a bank of white doors and strip lights in the ceiling.

Don’t know why chilli cheesecake doesn’t seem to be a thing. So had to have make one for tea. Went too easy on the chilli, need a more robust cultivar, and more of them… #chillicheesecake
A rather messy cheesecake topped with some minced chilli and lime zest.

I hope I’m better than average at spotting phishing emails (though I’m probably tempting fate by saying so) and I think I’m even starting to be able to spot fake phishing emails. In fact I’ll eat my socks if this wasn’t sent out by our IT department…
