Well, this should keep me going for a wee while 😳

But still... toys, right? It might be good for astro and other photo processing, perhaps ;)
Thinking back, my first ever x86 PC was an Elonex 486 with 8MB RAM and 80MB HD. The speed of restoring from TimeMachine over thunderbolt is equivalent to throwing 100 of those PCs out the window per second. Progress, I think it's called.

A few snaps from this afternoon's stroll in (the remains of) Cloan Glen. Lovely sunlight. Très pastoral.

That feeling when you're setting up a photo and your moobile starts buzzing like nobody's... ☢😳🪨
Fortunately not too spicy, but twice background level is noticeable :)

Current mood: wondering what the environmental cost of calling the well-named Cursor a cockwomble might be

Another trip around Kinclaven yesterday evening, including a rare Bigfoot sighting.

That Kinclaven
The place is a bit of a cliché especially in May, but sometimes the dappled light, bluebells, trees and mood and compositions all coincide. Perfect.

Pure Landscape
Total overcast serenity. Scots pine trees on a wee island on Loch Assynt, the far side of the loch fading into the mist/low cloud. Tranquil and then some.

Why is it, no matter how much I search for prices for a heat-pump or household battery to go with the solar panels, *every* company touts a "free quote" yet demands contact details?
What happened to putting prices on the web upfront like honest companies? This is shady dirty behaviour. Why should I do business with any of them?

Aurora, Edinburgh
Sometimes you just gotta sit on a bench beside the Observatory, eating fish & chips from a favoured chippy (Stefano's on Morningside Road) in a chilly -1ºC under light of a full moon whilst watching the remains of an aurora display as Orion rises.
