Feel the difference

There’s been a bit of rain overnight, and the temperature is now a bit more sane. So today’s walk was fairly comfortable, culminating in a visit to the shops. I’m still only shopping for essentials, though (if you count ice-cream as essential), and that’s probably always been my nature anyway.

One of our neighbours was using a power tool just now, which sounded like the fan on this laptop, but just a bit different. Until I twigged, I thought the computer was in distress.
