We got a warm night (18°C) with a very light drizzle, more like heavy mist really. And that turns into a cool (relative at 21°C) and very grey day till noon. Then the sun breaks trough and drives up the temperature further.

My father had troubles with his heart again. Not as severe as the previous time. Then the pain was much worse and his circulation almost stopped causing him to lose his balance. He couldn't even speak anymore then. This time his pulse remained relatively strong, only skipping over once every few beats.

I got up in the middle of the night so I did not go running at six as usual but slept in till half past seven. Well not really sleeping but ...

I lost time reorganizing stuff. I say lost because the new organization isn't an improvement.
And in the afternoon I spent time in the garden.

I also spent (not lost) a lot of time watching the tits playing and fighting over peanuts. During the winter we feed them hazel and peanuts which they have to work out of a plastic basket. The normal diet of these black and blue tits consists of insects and insect larvae which are not abundant in winter. By helping them trough the winter we ensure that, comes spring and summer they are hanging around and ready to protect our plants from being overgrazed.
The black tits have been doing their thing and now they have their you pestering them for food. Once every few weeks we give them a handful of peanuts in the basket even though they don't need it.
But it sure is a delight to see some seven or eight tits hopping on and off the basket and chasing each other.

I installed the USB hub I bought yesterday. Plug and play as it should. Pull out the camera from the PC, plug in the hub, plug the camera into the hub. Presto. The fun really is getting out of the business.
