A Bug's Life

I must be getting old - last night I saw some young people larking about, putting traffic cones across Davy Road to block it. So I moved them out of the way again. If I'd been nearer the young people I could have used my Invigilator voice to tell them to stop it!

Today I notice I routinely use three types of moisturiser. [I'm irked about foundation - it took me ages to find some I liked, and now they've run out I can't replace them! Bah. I liked the stick one, but it's all liquids or powders these days. I got some anyway but it rather highlights the dry skin.]

Webcammed with Simon yesterday, but plagued by problems with wonky webcams and no sound. And attacking Cybermen (apparently other wives don't do that). The frame rate was very slow, I guess it's down because of the number of users. He is safe and well, long may that continue!

Busy day today - lunch in town with fjm and Greer Gilman, then to the Leisure Centre for the gym and Casino Royale. Back home to pluck up the courage to solder some resistors!

Have soldered resistors. Seemed to work okay. Just as well, as I don't have a solder sucker. Soldered left-handed due to suboptimal light/worksurface/power point configuration - also seemed to work well! Circuit board has a dozen tiny resistor legs sticking out of underneath. Have not yet managed to find wire clippers in our many boxes of toolery. I fear they are in the cold, dark garage behind many boxes of books.
