Set the controls for the heart of the Cotswolds

Pleasingly and tiringly random.

Yesterday, belted to the Palace of Spanners Reversed (where jarkman lives) on the premise of creativity. And lo, there was creativity. And lovely old maps. Who knew of the Coombe Hill Canal? I didn't. Something to visit in the near future, yes.

(Note to self: steampunk proto-computer produced backups on particularly long stair/hall carpet using modified Jacquard machine and didn't use a program counter. VLIW? Bit density of average stair-carpet? Possibility of stego-carpets?)

Today, toddled to Oldbury-on-Severn nuke station to discover visitor centre very shut and anti-terrorist weave-across-the-road concrete blocks everywhere. Felt a little like Mark Thomas, taking pictures as the Nice Security Man approached.

Oh well.

Engaged in Accidental Commerce. Now have a Sony phone with a strangely CGA UI for a third the price of the previous contract. I have my doubts about any of it working.

I fear not. Coombe Hill where the road from Cheltenham meets the Gloucester-Tewkesbury road.
