Tidying up the home page
/
I’ve done some tidying up of this site. I’ve got rid of the word cloud thing, which served only to remind me that I’ve written lots of posts about things that no longer exist. In its place I’ve put some links to things that are ongoing and folks might find interesting.
If you think there are other things I could do which would improve “The Rob Miles on-line experience” please let me know in the comments.
Update: I’ve put the tag cloud back. You can now find it on the top menu. I’ve also added a “Bad Jokes” link.
Current Flow
/You know that feeling when you put a teacake in the toaster, push down the lever and everything goes out. I do. It happened at teatime today. Turned out that a wayward raisin had bridged the gap between the element and the case of the toaster causing a current flow (yay!) which tripped the circuit breaker. It took me three goes to fix it, but now I can make toast again.
Smashed

It turns out that broken windows are surprisingly hard to photograph.
Oh well....

How was your day?
Sci-Fi Scarborough is great fun

We went to Scarborough today to visit Sci-Fi Scarborough. It was super. I took the big camera and grabbed some pictures.
What a welcome committee
The town was looking good too
They had some amazing film props and costumes
The spa is a great place
They had stuff for sale, authors, illustrators, props, cosplay, talks and tabletop gaming. We had lunch at the restaurant at the Spa and it was superb. Pro tip - have the fish and chips.
The event is open tomorrow (Sunday 27th). You really should go..
Get to sleep using your kitchens
/If you are having bother getting to sleep, spend some time walking down memory lane thinking about kitchens. Works for me. Thinking about stuff that hasn’t happened yet gets the brain whizzing with plans and things to do. But thinking about stuff in the past is quite different (at least for me). So at the moment I’m working my way through the various kitchens we’ve had over the years. The memories are all good ones - like when we used to have a high chair and baby food all over the floor.
if you’re having trouble getting to sleep think about something that you liked doing in he past and see if it works for you..
