I don’t know, you can get Photoshop and Lightroom for £10 a month, which is very cheap when you compare it to a night out or a takeaway, and at the moment, they’re better than the equivalents.

I do need to have another look at DaVinci Resolve though. I’ve heard loads of good things about it, but it was overkill for what I needed when I last tried it :)

She’s brilliant 🙂

I keep forgetting to buy anything of hers though because my brain translates her name to Fern Britton, and I think of the wrong person 🙈

UK here. I had a similar day to you, but it turned out to be a very severe case of double pneumonia, caused by an undiagnosed autoimmune disease. I had multiple organ failure, was put into a medically induced coma, and was hospitalised for about two months.

14 years later, I’ve had countless tests and scans, and had a kidney transplant. Like you, I’ve only ever paid for things like parking and meals that I chose to buy.

The fact that people defend the American system is beyond my understanding 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is a massive part of the problem here in the UK too.

I just checked with Google Maps how long it would take my wife to get to work tomorrow morning. In the car it would take between 45 minutes and an hour, but public transport would take an hour and 52 minutes, with 29 minutes of that taken up by walking to bus and train stops. She would have to leave the house before 5:30 am, whereas the car would give her another hour in bed.

At the moment we’re under a yellow warning for rain too, so she would need to take waterproof clothes and probably a change of clothes too.

Until things like this are improved, it’s easy to see why lots of people still take the car :(

I’ll keep an eye on them, thanks for the heads up 👍

I’m a big fan of just carrying around one charger

Off topic, but I bought a handful of magnetic cables and a few different ends to match our devices, and now one cable works for charging everything.

It has the downside of not letting you connect the device to a computer, but because they’re magnetic, they’re breakaway cables. My kid has walked away with their tablet after forgetting to unplug it, and nothing bad happens 👍

I think I sat next to him on the bus once

I can’t decide if that would be too sweet with the apple sauce base. That might have to be an experiment :)

That’s a good point. I haven’t cooked anything with apple that could go soggy for years, so I hadn’t thought of that. Pulled pork and apple pizza is sounding nice though :)

Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)

The Zerg lady looks like someone who was fused with a spider in a transporter accident. She’d be split into her base creatures before Janeway’s coffee got cold

Brilliant 🤣

Wasn’t that an Oasis song?

I don’t know, I find that my hyperfocus doesn’t kick in until I start doing something

Back in the forum days it was the wink 😉

Yeah, I’ve got my fingers crossed for tomorrow night. Good luck 🙂

Just remember that you might not see anything with the naked eye, but a camera will pick up the colour. Last time, I was able to get out, and once my eyes were used to the dark, I could see faint grey lines and waves in the sky :)

I really hope you’re right

Not my kid, but this made me laugh.

Picking my kid up from school after a funeral, I saw one of the teachers standing in the rain while sending the kids to their parents, so I stood next to him with my umbrella. One of the kids looked back at him to say goodbye, did a double take, and just stopped dead. Looking me up and down in my black suit, she asked the teacher ‘Sir, is this your butler?’

It’s a good article, but very generous. I live in the valleys, and there are a lot of racist people here. They obviously won’t admit it if you ask them, but talk to them in the pub, or read their Facebook posts, and you’ll see the truth.

It genuinely makes me sad to see how accepted it is here these days
