I voted (against the RT's candidates and policies) as soon as I got the pack through. You have to be a member to vote.

I feel disgusted that groups like RT are trying to undermine institutions like the National Trust for their own aims.

It’s easily got to the point where home broadband is not the limiting factor. We are a home of 2 people and our 500Mbps is more than sufficient.

At work we found that people’s home WiFi is way more limiting than the incoming connection.

This is amazing and exactly what I needed to see this morning.

Hate to be the one to tell you this, but it looks like she was searching for it.

I am about an hour and 20 minutes into it. I would say that the animation is fantastic - visually it is beautiful. The sound mix is great and is really filling the room. The story is meh - I am approaching this from a 'low mental effort US action film' point of view and I think I'll be ok to watch to the end.

The thing that is bugging me the most is that they haven't even tried to come up with an alien point of view. The characters might as well be human, and American at that.

I have no idea why James Cameron thought this needed to be 3hrs long. If a film goes over 2hrs it really needs to be a mini-series.

I got caught in a few showers yesterday so I think I will hide from the rain today. I might go and get my hair cut and then relax around the house. I have been looking for a suitable moment to watch Avatar 2 and this might be just that sort of day.

That plus if they are selling a non-standardised service to a business it can be challenging to work out the cost. Projects, consultancy, etc all need to be scoped and estimated.

Chef's Table down near Cumberland Basin. I keep calling it Chef Stable.

I had to get my wedding ring resized to a smaller fit, as I kept flinging it across the room whenever I was wildly gesticulating. It's now about the right size, although my finger has a wild range of circumference depending on the weather. Today it's about right, but in winter I can still accidentally turn my ring into a projectile.

TIL: gesticulating is spelt with a g, not a j.

The radio is telling me there are lots of things on in the Bristol area today, including Southmead Festival, Chipping Sodbury Festival, Bath Carnival, and Bristol Pride.

Unfortunately the weather is looking not so good, and if i starts raining in the next hour or so then I might just potter around the house.

We are going out to a posh restaurant for dinner this evening.

You might want to go to specsavers... they can probably help you with that.
