Amusing glitch in the matrix

Posted on August 5, 2020 By admin

I was trying to confirm an address detail using Google street view. Normally, when you move around along a road, the pictures are consistent as they generally come from the same mapping run. This is the 1st time I’ve come across this – two adjacent pictures coming from two different runs, on different days. Note the difference in the weather and how the cars are parked

Three-word slogan

Hands. Face. Space. Get a test. And self-isolate. If you have symptoms.

Bonne fête, la Suisse ??

Posted on August 2, 2020August 3, 2020 By admin

Yesterday was Swiss national day. The eve of which all shops close early and mess up your berry pavlova making plans. A day where everything should be shut (but nobody told the vendors in the weekly farmer’s market, thereby reviving your berry pavlova plans).

Clan Jones and clan Grogan-Cote met up at clan Lannutti for a great evening of friends, food (!!, including the berry pavlova and the boozy pineapple), wine, laughter and lots of doggy kisses.

Lily was a major center of attention and she loves every minute of it. She loved walking home in the middle of a downpour at 1am a lot less, but she got a good towelling off and she’s going to have a quiet day today, probably like a lot of people.

Quote of the day

One of the universal rules of happiness is: always be wary of any helpful item that weighs less than its operating manual.
