These wind turbines are over 20 miles away in Cardiff. The Bristol Channel sits between us and it, and no matter how good the forecast is sea mist means you never see them until after lunch, if at all.

They are much sharper irl, 20miles is stretching the capacity of an iPhone just a bit
On the very rare occasion they appear early doors (like today) you are in for a VERY bright day

Somewhere, I have some photos I took of some wind farms on the Central Texas Plains, which are ideal for wind energy production. With more than 18,000 turbines, if Texas were a country, it would rank fifth in the world for wind energy production. Rather unexpected for a State historically known for oil production.

Here you go then - an HD-28 2nd from left with an original (plastic) tortoiseshell pickguard. Don't worry I'm not a zealot; I'm also in the camp of trying to get on with learning and playing and actually making music than obsessing over the specifications minutiae of my gear.

What are the yellow things?

What are the yellow things?

Those are the fleshy edible seeds from inside the durian fruits.

Do the seeds stink too?

Do the seeds stink too?

Yep.

As for the taste, I can take it or leave it and while I find the smell bearable I don’t like it when my wife keeps them in the fridge and the smell permeates other foods.

Got a snap from my brother of his 6month old daughter who is being weened and trying foods for the first time.
She’s normally extremely smiley.

It read-

“I don’t know, can‘t be sure but something’s telling me she doesn’t like potato.”
