14°C, heavy rain, then clears

rambles:

  • I thought that video was done, and again I now think it is, because it wasn’t. Aaand I learn’t how to name DVD chapters. Soo that means it’s ready to re-burn to the DVD
  • The memory definitely needs to be returned. BIOS update made no difference
  • Cycled only 32 miles
  • People in Sutton Coldfield have fusilades of fireworks, must have cost thousands (each)

Guy Fawkes Night
For non-British readers:
Guy Fawkes night celebrates the execution of a Catholic bomber and loads of his accomplises. He wasn’t really a terrorist, more of a leader of a coup. He attempted to blow up the government, rather than kill random innocent civilians.
He was sentenced to be hung, drawn and quatered (just in case). Except he jumped off the scaffold just before and broke his neck- dying instantly. You can’t blame him after lengthy torture."Pah!" they said, so they hung/chopped up loads of his co-conspirators.

But that was all in 1605- and we British don’t do that anymore. We imprison terrorists and let them out after a few years. So don’t panic Osama.

10°C, sun+rain
Scanned a drawing made during a pastoral meeting of yesterday. I liked this enough to copy into my A6 sketch-book but it didn’t come out the same at all. Ack well…
I added some others onto the School Planner section since they were made in meetings.

15°C:rain+warm+boistrerous wind.
Sprite has taken longer than any picture this year, especially if you count the restarts. I need to do a quick picture of two before my confidence is eroded. The A4 oil-paper pictures are excellent for quick pictures and still look good in picture frames.
Thoughts are fed by the Peter Howson book, currently grey-orange-deep cerulean blue.
Lets see what comes up.
