It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Forecast was rain in morning, dry in afternoon so postponed my outing to the afternoon.
Not had one drop of rain this morning, just checked forecast again and now saying rain all afternoon. For this I'm paying taxes?

went out, needless to say started raining when I was no more than fifty yards from the house. Never got to be more than just spitting though.
Bought some aftershave - Kouros. The bird asks me if I'd had trouble finding it. I apologised that my taste in cologne was stuck in the 1980s. She laughed and said 'We still sell loads of it.'
Vindicated.
Went to Burger King. My god that was miserable. Manned by Filipino staff who look like they bitterly regret not stopping in the Philippines. £5.99 for a double cheeseburger! They should re-name it 'Burger Rob-Dogs.'
Had a walk back down the Trent & Mersey. Used to be my walk home from work years ago. Of course back then it was still the original dirt towpath that came with the canal. Post industrial dereliction on either side and you could have a quiet journey with just the ducks for company.
Now it's all paved and lit and thronged by dog walkers, children, cyclists who think they are competing for gold at the velodrome, and other human plagues of the 21st century.
Was quiet today though, must be the rain keeping them in. No ducks either, you wouldn't think a bit of rain would bother them.

there used to be a 'Loop Line' here that linked all the towns but some genius decided to rip it all out back in the 1960s. Where it used to run are now 'Greenways' which basically means where people take their dogs to shit.

25.5C. Warm and humid - it feels 'muggy', so might rain later.

There aren't many places where railways have been reinstated. Many have indeed been turned into walks and cycle tracks - which is OK if they really aren't needed, but in some areas it has been a real pain - and reverting back to railway or light tram use might make a lot of sense.
