'ning
looks like another glorious day, 25+ before dawn, maybe the calima, sadly i have a plane to catch, tempted to skip it and stay, but mrs s might kill me
i shall give you the sad history, with a happy ending, of the mad cactus, as recounted to me by the tabby during a convivial natter
timelessness ago, the cactus became trapped on a closed spacelike curve, unable to escape, aware but unaging, he tumbled through uncountable universes, experiencing their births and deaths, eventually losing his reason as it fragmented across the eternities of the void
the tabby, discovering his plight, took pity, being outside all universes, though they derive existence through entanglement* with her consciousness, she chose to place him on a timelike path intersecting our universe, which happens to be at the eastern approach to yaiza, just after the roundabout
today he stands there, surrounded by his adopted family, tended by the ayuntamiento, existing simply, aware only that he is, at last, happy in the warm sun, and always cheered by the greetings of passersby
always be good to the cactus
*this entanglement is the source of what are known as dark energy and dark matter, they evanesce from all other universes into ours, they are, but they are not, no human instrumentality can explain them, only the tabby

I'm sat here in a high viz and toe capped boots, readying myself for a day of supervising on site.

Had a surprisingly mild and dry pedal in (car thermometer was showing 12C at one point in the 'burbs) so was getting a bit warm in my hi viz jacket.

Evening all. Tooth fixed! Nothing to report.
Oh, except for my massively high blood pressure. Just emailed my results to the Docs.
I wonder what else will go wrong next?Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.
