Good news, spring is threatening.

Bad news, I’m going to spend it in a blue bubble.
There have been a couple of beautiful days this week. I’m considering taking my hiking boots of for the year. But my usual pleasure at watching Stevenage burst into spring from eight floors up is diminished by the scaffolding and blue stuff I’m encased in.
Then there’s the drilling.
I had a note through my letter box, telling me that the drilling will only take a day and would be carried out on Tuesday 2 March. I took all ornaments off window sills and pictures off externals walls and went out for the day.

Some winter sunshine today. The first sun I remember since October.

I have every expectation of being on the phone to you again soon.

Looking for water on the Moon and a way to watch the footie
Today, I watched the LCROSS mission climax on NASA TV. They sent a probe into the Moon at twice the speed of sound. If there was any water ice at the crash site they would be able to detect it in the cloud of debris sent up by the impact.
It turned out to be a bit of an anti-climax. No explosion, no plume, and so far no trace of water
On the bright side, I successfully piped my PC output through the TV using an s-video connection. But it only works when the cable TV box is on. I have no idea why so any suggestions would be welcome.
