A backup photo today, I've had a busy and productive day, bashing out a test report and a few other bits, then after work I did some machining on a little project I've been working on recently and fixed something that's been in my pile of things-to-fix-for-people for a while.
The ice formations in this puddle were hugely varied, with all sorts of weird and wonderful shapes. Most of the other puddles were just frozen over flat, so I'd love to know what was different here.
I thought this deranged shopping trolley made a slightly amusing sight.
I went for a walk with my parents this afternoon, and we spotted this group of snowdrops under a hedge.
I think this may be the earliest I've seen them - I've just looked back at the last couple of years, and it looks like both were February.
This one's a stack of 5 shots, I had the camera on a mini tripod and just manually moved the focus ring between shots.
I've been fiddling with the software for this test rig on and off over the last few days, chasing a bug in some failure detection logic. I finally caught the little rascal today, as commemorated by this message.
I absolutely, definitely, didn't celebrate by programming the display to show a range of rude messages to my colleague, because that would have been extremely childish.
👹
Bit of a busy day and evening today.
The forecast show has arrived this evening. I shall await developments to see if we get Britain-stopping levels (that our overseas friends would laugh at) of snow overnight.
After a few days of light snowy conditions, it was a bit odd to come out of work to rain.
Oh, and it took approximately two hours and eight minutes of being in the building until [redacted].
Such fun.
