I went down the Roon rabbit hole, and ended up playing this collaboration from 2017…

I type this it’s currently 6:53 am on Sunday morning. That’s a three hour lying compared to what I’ve heard the rest of the week!

I’ve just been to the kitchen and made myself a nice big mug of black coffee as I usually have pretty much every morning. This morning, however, I have the luxury of taking it back to bed and being able to take my time and submit it a bit slower than I usually would and catch up on what’s going on around the world before get up and truly start the day.

I don’t mind getting up early in the morning. I am usually awake around 530 to 6 am. However, when I have an alarm call at 3:50 it’s just a little too early even for me. I’ve just done six of those, and today is the last one. For the next week I’m on leave and I can pretty much get out of bed when I want to within reason.

I’m in bed. That’s it really. Goodnight.

Living the high life! Smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel for breakfast. With coffee, of course

Well I haven’t really but I was just remembering the old song title anyway it’s a dreamy wet morning. It’s not cold current temperatures around 55°F but it’s going to be wet and windy for the next 24 hours according to the weather people.

Only one more day to do and then a week off. I would’ve been on leave tomorrow but I had to change that to take the following Sunday off.

It’s Thursday morning 4:30 am. It’s the fourth day of six so we are halfway there and I’m waiting for the bus which is just coming around the corner.

Two more early mornings and then a week off! Yay!

I was met with almost complete silence last evening when I tried to play DSD files through my Topping DX1—never had that before. FLAC was fine. This afternoon, I reset the Roon configuration, and everything is working again.

Well, not quite but certainly another coffee on my break which is always welcome. I’ve had one earlier for this makes the second and I might have a third. We’ll see how it goes. I’ve got another three hours at work yet so I might consider another mugful.

Daylight is starting to appear. I’ve been up three hours already though.

I had the dreaded 500 Internal Server Error on a site earlier. I isolated the issue to just the admin side, so at least the website was back up. It took a while longer to determine that an errant .htaccess file was causing the admin blockage, but it’s all resolved now.

Yes, it’s raining today. That’s because I was going to do a bit more gardening when I get home this afternoon. I’ll have about an hour before dark.

Getting the garden ready for a new season. I took down the remnants of the runner beans and pulled up the tomato plants. I dug some of the plot over and planted some onion sets, which will be ready about next June.

I also planted bulbs. - Hyacinth, Daffodil and Tulip varieties.

6.30 am. Wide awake! Still dark outside. Nothing planned for today, so let’s see how it goes.

After ten years, I’ve decided to make a clean shave of it. Do I look ten years younger, I asked my wife. No, she replied, you can see all your wrinkles now. Oh well. A Change is as good as a rest!

I am awake again after a little fitful dozing while playing some Yom.

Much too early. It’s only 4.30 am. No work today either. It’s really annoying!

Once work is over today, that’s it until Monday. Yay!

Got busy this morning with a new website that I’m working on. Pleased with my efforts today. I got to where I want to be right now with it.
