I've been known to ramble and do a bit of scribing. Nature, science, gardening, transport, architecture, books, films, TV, and theatre are my interests. That I can think of at the moment, anyway...

What the husband @mjowen174.bsky.social says is true.

Reminds me of the time some of my colleagues were trying to access a server that had been set up by someone who'd moved on. I suggested trying "password".....it worked. 🤣
