Restore a Beaufort
A worthy cause – would be great to see a Beaufort in the air again.
Vale Barry Humphries
So many great characters – Barry will be missed.
Great video of Dame Edna and Crowded House from 1987 – whole thing is worth watching but here’s where Dame Edna comes on.

Great interview with some of the cast of Andor.
Can’t wait for season 2

Wonders of Street View
A few minutes distraction – what strange wonders will you find?
Infocom
A great trip down memory lane with the old Infocom games. I played these on the TI-99/4a and then later the Amiga. I didn’t finish too many of them, but they were a fun challenge.
When the iPad came out, they were all ported to iOS along with the maps, 3D representations of the “feelies” (the physical object related to the game that was packaged with the game) looked very professional, but the move from 32 to 64bit on iOS meant it stopped working.
Fortunately, there are still emulators around to play them for now.
Visitor in the garden
Seen a lot more lizard in the yard lately – some quite big ones too.
Here’s a little guy I saw the other morning
