Aspirins come in widely differing strengths so should be clearly labelled for the layman. Otherwise, miss dosage is pretty inevitable for anyone unfamiliar with the wide selection.

Was on Aston Rowant nature reserve today and saw Silver Washed Fritillaries among other butterflies. Great to see so many bees and butterflies in the sunshine up there on the chalk escarpment. We need more places preserved like this so wildlife can thrive.

Instant coffee can still be great. If you like it a lot, it is more affordable and an occasionally 'real' coffee can be enjoyed as a special treat. As far as 'Instant' is concerned, I am pretty fussy how it's served and like it to look and taste like this:

Google fails by it's own AI definition. It mentions text and arrows as being fundamental for screen captures.....and yet, it omits them in it's own screen capture product.....and has the audacity to produce Chrome Books with this crippled Chrome operating system. Chromebooks are crippled.

Why does Google hold back with Chrome and not give users what they need? For years I have banged on to them that the otherwise decent screen capture tool, expecially when using Chromebooks should have text annotation and simple arrow tools. And for years they ignore. So don't buy a Chromebook.

Great low-level winter sunshine this afternoon to light Pitstone Windmill (Buckinghamshire).

An Aconite photographed today in Pitstone, Buckinghamshire.

Get out today and see those snowdrops!

My Kings. A card game I've designed for 2 players.

Here is a big kitchen island unit I made in my workshop for a local customer in December. Lots of storage. Bespoke design which I developed with the customer's direction, and made to follow the theme of their existing fitted furniture. The paint is Little Greene Dock Blue in intelligent eggshell.

That was early morning and later at noon, in the woods, as the low January sunlight was streaming before me I was drawn by the sunlight on the moss covered tree root, and as I got closer I saw this.

We had some great views from Coombe Hill near Wendover, Buckinghamshire earlier in January while the Aylesbury Vale was shrouded in mist.
