More Stressed Chameleon
@mark-nicol.bsky.social
Working on being a calmer chameleon - but it comes and goes.

East Lothian dad and software engineer - working at the UK ATC
(Likes dad jokes, old computers and space. Would like to write better docs but never seem to have the time)
That is one of my favourite all time Bloom County jokes.

Have you heard about the Corduroy Pillows?
....
They are making headlines

What if we containerised the teams rather than the software?

New portacabin arrives on site.

This run of nice weather really is lovely. Hope it lasts through the weekend.

Whatever you are doing today as George says "it is going to take patience and time to do it right" 😀

Sure is a mighty fine place to be ...

Morning. Good skies on the way to the office. Almost makes up for the climb.

After the wind and the rain East Lothian looking lovely in the sunshine this morning.

One of those showers where you appreciate the sun coming out again.

Even if part of you feels pranked by being drenched all the way through your commute, only for it to stop once you reach the office.

There were some lovely reflections on site in the sunshine yesterday.

Morning blue sky peeps. This is a good omen for the day - right?

High quality lunar eclipse photo. Nothing to see here folks but clouds.

Possibly some mice may have done.

Nice walk near Haddington today. A wee bit crunchy and squelchy underfoot. Lovely winter light and we saw a heron.

St Giles looking almost festive with the light catching the windows and the wee tree outside.

Scott Monument channeling classic novel in cheap reprint energy this morning.

Nice dramatic skies this morning over Haddington. Some solace for an early morning appointment with my dentist.

No snow yet. The office is however looking good on this crisp and frosty morning.

Something I found personally helpful this morning in my stoic notes: Constructive action is a more effective form of self help than rage as it stops an evil situation overwhelming us.
