Watercolour skies

It rained like mad today, then cleared to an amazing pink before the sun set.

I have been doing a bit of coding, for the first time in a long while: various bits of functionality for the Shop: reporting, mostly. It's remarkable how you forget, and then pick it up again: I've gone from clumsily googling for basic functions to cheerfully writing quite long sections before I test the code actually works. I am still slowly running down most of my website work to other providers, with the aim of focussing more on the Shop.

I keep meaning to photograph some of the things I've drawn recently, then not getting around to it till the light has gone: autumn is fading in properly now, though last weekend was very warm. The temperature when I went swimming at Hazelbeach on Sunday was 17 degrees. The pontoon is still out there, though the one at Dale has already been taken in for the winter.

As a professional coder, I can assure you that I regularly find myself "clumsily googling for basic functions" if I haven't used one for a few months!

Also, I love that first photo!

A problem of being a solo coder is that its all too easy to assume nobody else is afflicted with the same level of clumsy googling!

This kind of thing gets passed around the office semi regularly, and the sloth and the frog next to it are both applicable.

:-D Oh yes, those do look horribly relevant.
