  Seen a thousand quid #ebike going locally for £60. Of course it needs a new battey and i'm damned if i see replacement ones for this model sold anywhere.

  Btw the writing course thing is going surprisingly well. Only 4 weeks in and it looks like i'm going to be reading some of my stuff on a bloody stage with a fee paying audience in December. They will suffer. As will I. Send help.

  #3GoodThings Brilliant tades guy i used years ago finally returned my enquiry to fix tiles on the roof and gave me a mercifully affordable quote for repair. Spotted some long time no see Millions Irn Bru Jelly Babies in the wild that the OH loves so was lovely to bring home a surprise. Had a 'zoom tea' with my Buddhist instructors which is always a joy.

  I don't get what is going on on my degoogled phone. Aurora app has again stopped applying updates. Is this some kind of rate limiting? I'm going to hope it resolves itself again. I can see this is a common issue but what causes it for some seems unclear. #DeGoogle

  My degoogled phone experience has declined over recent months. Frequently the default aurora app can't update apps and it's all got rather glitchy. I feel a need to reinstall or try another option. #DeGoogle

  I've had this ancient cassette in a draw for like over 30 years and the tape broke (an old C120 so yeah daft thin tape) but i think there's something on there i'd like to hear. I do have a tape splicer but no splicing tape. I only need a little bit and splicing tape is a rarity thee days but one day i'll have to buy some just to see what rubbish is on the tape. #cassettes

  Got my password for the new #Scotrail app. Seems to sort of work. The search is a bit odd. The new app is made by SilverRail apparently. A work in progress. #Scotland

  I think of all the classic but rare synthesiser excesses the Yamaha GX-1 must top the list. When introduced in 1975 it cost $60,000 (circa $420,000 in today’s money), weighed 272 kg and really was just made as a luxury, very limited availability test concept and sold to seriously well off musicians (i mean polyphonic in 1975 was a rarity and with both horizontal and vertical after-touch). Keith Emerson is playing one in the promo for ELP's Fanfare for the Common Man. He broke his, bought J...

  #3GoodThings Got out inbetween the light rain. Tried some new Golden Wonder crinkle ridge paprika crisps. An oasis of joy in a world of otherwise shrinkflated crisps. My other half has finished their open university diploma. Feeling empathetically proud they stayed the course.

  Well it has been a scorching18c today with lotsa wind and a few ultra light and barely felt spitty showers. I felt right at hone. #Glasgow

  Amused by a local story of a 103 year old woman attributing her longevity to her love of Quavers and Wotsits crisps so had to look up what year they came to beas I was sure they'd only been around for half of her life. 1968 and 1971 respectively. #UK #crisps

  Why has nobody made an electric toothbrush that channels music into your mouth as you brush your teeth so people brush for longer as they go full talk box ala Peter Frampton?

  Some people are seeing Xmas stuff in some of the stores already. Have a word with yourself if you are a store with Xmas s*** in it right now.

  Had to bite my lip reading one of those "we earn 80k but are struggling financially". People have big costs I guess just some more than others.

  Sounds like GoPro continue to be a company in trouble. Some are giving them until the end of the year in terms of survival. #ActionCameras #GoPro

  #3GoodThings Found a 2004 dated disposable film camera still in box (let truly awful expired film results be mine. See previous post). My fatigue has abated somewhat today. The garden raspberry canes continue to be producing a great crop. It's #cranachan o'clock.

  New #Scotrail app coming end of July. The existing app will be junk. New app will require a new setup and won't save payment details but will operate with Apple pay and Google pay. Think I'll stay with Train Pal. At least they refund tickets. https://www.scotrail.co.uk/important-information-about-buying-tickets #Scotland #apps #rail
