Social media is always keen to sell you idyllic, rural, West Cornwall. The quiet. Just peace, animals and birds. What they don’t talk about is the DANGERS! This morning a falling horse chestnut (conker), spiky shell included, fell from a tree and struck my ear! Ouch! #Cornwall #RuralLiving #Nature

Me enjoying the weekend (mine is on a Wednesday this week). Phone rings at 9am.
“Can you do overtime today (we start at 0730)?”
“No but I can come in tomorrow and Friday.”
That was a short weekend 😂

I found this to be a very interesting read. Maybe government ministers should read it too. It stresses that when societies become unequal, those societies (countries/empires) collapse.

Horrible news for Intel. I have questions…
1. Will Intel’s “T” line of processors now stand for “Trump?”
2. Will they be gold?
3. Will their AI capabilities only extend to generating pictures of young girls?
PC Gamers know from experience that competition is important. #Hardware #Intel #AMD

As part of my father’s birthday celebration, a couple of beers were sank between the Mexico Inn, Longrock and the Packet Inn, Rosudgeon. #BskyBeer

Hopefully it’ll be fun. We’re heading out from Penzance and stopping in Marazion for pasties/ice cream then off to Newlyn and back to PZ. My wife and eldest daughter will be on Super73s and my Dad on a Synch’s S-Cargo (designed in Dorset).

I’m test riding a cargo bike tomorrow afternoon for a couple of hours. It’ll be the first one I’ve ridden. Pretty excited but not quite as much as my youngest daughter who’s gonna ride in the front. #ActiveTravel

Thankfully you caught it! I’m waiting on a #Parcelforce delivery, they can’t find my house! I can’t use either their automated phone system or website because I don’t have a “sorry we missed you slip.” I’ve had to fill out a complaints form online instead (48hr response time) 🙄
