Soggy #UnconfinedWalks this morning, made worse by the inconsiderate van driver who completely soaked me!
Possibly a bit late for tonight but my usual standbys are pasta and pesto or super noodles/pasta packets (all with frozen veg).
Sounds like the whisky and amaretto may be Christmas necessities!
Half term took me by surprise, but it did mean my morning #UnconfinedWalks could be past the school.
Scenic #UnconfinedWalks to the supermarket today. Then a domestic afternoon of making daal, cookies, and a red wine mushroom casserole.
The only reason I didn't bulk cook more was a shortage of containers.
The upgrade on my local pillar box hs been completed.
A quick pint at the end of my walk earlier for #ConfinedCocktails.
Another stretch of the England Coast Path for today's #UnconfinedWalks. In reality more tidal river than coast, but still soothing water and fresh air.
Planned to gave a break from digital preservation today with some old fashioned file appraisal. Of course the files were full of these (with icons for attached documents).
#UnconfinedWalks of errands, but taking time for some peace and space along the river.
#BLAW.
Thinking of everyone who has experienced a loss today (and everyday(.
Grey #UnconfinedWalks to get my flu jab. Also spotted a blister pack recycling point in the pharmacy which was handy. And a splash of colour in town.
I'm sure they will be fine. Pickles tend to last forever (unopened).
They make me think of the Hogfather though.
Damp autumn leaves on this morning's #UnconfinedWalks.
More #UnconfinedWalks along canals, a very low reservoir.
Lunchtime #TeaUp at a lovely Middle Eastern café with friends.
Hope you get the chance to escape a little from reality too.
Enjoying a red wine in excellent company, which is a lovely distraction from the pressures of reality.
The unconventional glass choice is what I was given.
Waving back. Visiting friends and doing Lit Fest things.
I hope the answer was yes, and can we get you anything while you're doing that.
Also hope you get some rest (physical and mental) soon.
#UnconfinedWalks to use time between trains. Culture and water!
That's why I wear gloves for analogue materials. I'm just less sure if nail polish transferring to a hard drive or USB would have much impact.
Just reading the transcription of a training video I recorded earlier this year.
Apparently we keep 'bond digital' material in a system called 'Preserve a Car'.
Today's #archive #digipres pondering. When I wear nail polish I wear nitrile gloves to handle paper files. Should I also be wearing them to handle removable media?
