#MapMonday On this day in 1996, the Stone of Scone, used in coronations of monarchs, was returned to Scotland after 700 years in Westminster Abbey. On the topic of 'scones' (yes, tenuous!)... here's a map of scone pronounciation. What do our followers use? bit.ly/3JDOEyn

Asked an AI chat bot to help with an issue I'm having with pigeons. Might have to ask other AIs as this one wasn't helpful at all.

Come on, at last, give us a blast!

I'm so out of touch with music I've only just made the connection between Kraftwerk's Computer Love and Coldplay's Talk. But I guess that's to be expected from someone who still likes Pachelbel's Canon in D Major. 😳
Come on, who's already had a cheese platter today?
First bit of data loss in a while, due to a power cut last night. I'd left my computer on standby, but after the power came back, the Blender file I'd been working on was corrupt. Luckily the .blend1 file was OK and only an hour of work was lost.

Decided to buy a new graphics card and other bits and bobs to give my aging PC a boost... and.... Nope, still not buying cards for that money 😒 Even cards a few years old are going for £££
Good game. Off to eat a pork pie while doing a handstand then steal a bike.

Most important thing happening around here is that the house martins and/or swifts have returned for the summer!

They've gone (the housemartins, swifts and swallows). It's 100% crows from now until next May. 🥴
Honestly, I didn't think the world could continuously get worse and worse over the last 5 years. Everyone should watch old mashed potato adverts for a bit of a breather. "...clearly a most primitive people [ha ha ha]" youtube.com/watch?v=3SAbJjkt…

Rare and recent pic of me, on a bicycle as well! Little kid in the car park called me Mr Orange. 😒
Any folk read any books about parallel worlds? All interesting in their own way, but with the same concept that when an event occurs with multiple outcomes, parallel worlds are instantly created. And then, some folk have the ability to shift themselves between the worlds.

From L to R. Chrestomanci series (1977), Transition (2009), The Long Earth series (2012).

A quick search reveals 'Living Space' by Isaac Asimov as a much earlier story involving parallel universes. Written in 1956! I wonder if there are any earlier stories???
Your weekend homework: Why, in English, do we still use 'cul-de-sac'? I prefer Bag End, as Tolkien used in The Hobbit to poke fun at this very term.
