Today is World Sepsis Day, in 20O7 I almost died of sepsis after a shaving cut got infected. Sepsis kills more people a year than breast, bowel and prostate cancer combined. One of the best ways to fight it is to learn the warning signs

I'm not sure we ever quite got our colander* technique down, but that was pretty cool.

Ipswich looking pretty this evening.

The waterfront in Ipswich, at sunset, the sky changing from pink to pale blue, lights and boats reflecting in the still water.

Blade Runner takes place forty years In the future. Not so much science fiction as it is more of a futurism story. How do things seem to be forty years from now? It's no musical comedy, David.

Every week, while I'm stretching after parkrun, I look down at this and think - but where do they get the elves?
Looking down at a manhole cover, which appears have "ELF-LOCKING" written across the centre.

Goodbye Ellie, our beautiful, nervous, affectionate sweetheart. Gone far too soon.

Not saying it was a bit too hot for running at lunchtime, but I'm sure I saw a sandworm going the other way.

Half an hour of feeling like you're going to die is a great way to start the weekend!

This has been a post about #parkrun 🏃‍➡️

Go punting in the sunshine, they said. It'll be nice, they said.

A group punting on the river Cam. Ah the passengers are holding parasols for shade.

The prettiest desk-cat, giving me a look mid-scritching.

A small black and white cat - mostly black in this photo - looks directly at you. She is reclining on a desk, and a hand is scritching her neck.

I am not worried software is suddenly going to decide it wants power over humanity. I am worried about what people who already have power over humanity can do with that software.

Today's earworm: "It's going to be a fine night tonight / It's going to be a fine day tomorrow".

I never knew the Opus III version was a cover!

Anyone else spending a lazy Sunday reading about a coffin they're looking forward to seeing tomorrow? No, just me then?

Ellie looking cute, even in a cone!

(She's fine; she had surgery last week and is recovering well.)

Ripping CDs that are (probably) older than most of the people I work with.
