It’s very windy outside - some felt has come off the shed roof.

Also it’s quite windy inside - I have found the pickled eggs.

Halved the traffic to my own site last week by putting a Cloudflare challenge in place for traffic from a country where all the traffic was hitting single pages, 1 an hour, with no interaction (thank you Clarity), all from a variety of cities, no referrers.

The challenge does not stop real users.

Refactored my personal site today. Had been meaning to build category pages for ages and knocked up a tags page to see what I had used - right old mess so the first job was to go through all the tags and rationalise them - and fill in all the missing ones. Good job jobbed. #11ty
