I'm in the husband crèche at the garden centre consuming a bacon and egg barm and a cappuccino whilst the boss is busy inspecting plants. That might be harmful to my credit card but at least I ate bacon.

For the first time in 26 years I have no school age children so I can finally complain about how busy the roads are with parents on the school run.

More QMX+ progress. The GPS works with the antenna outdoors. So time and location are updated automatically.
I've also been heard on WSPR so the transmitter works too. About 1000 miles / 1600 km with 1w is a good start.

I've just finished building my QRP Labs QMX+ kit. I was pleased to see it power on first time and the firmware update was easy too. I've listened to FT8 on 40/30/20m so the receiver seems OK. I'm half way through the operating manual and will try the TX when I've read the instructions.

We went to watch the end of stage 2 of the Women's Cycling Tour of Britain this afternoon. The cycling was over in about 30 seconds, but the rest of the afternoon was fun.

Where did the rain go?
Forecast was for 4mm since midnight. Actual 0.2mm. It's supposed to rain until lunchtime but I'm waking up to a sunny blue sky morning.
