Saturday Comes Around

Woke at 6:30 this morning. Looks a bit on the cold side out there but the coffee is hot and fresh.

Took it back to bed for a while. Got up and took Uber to Cranford Park. Got involved in the archaeological dig on the site of the house.

Did this for some time and then went to get tea from Kathy in the church.

That was when I found £120 had gone missing from my wallet. Searched everywhere but couldn’t find it.

Walked home with her and Damian and Belinda who had come to Cranford Park for the walk around the park that was on.

After having a delicious omlette for lunch we went to the Queen’s Head for fireworks in the evening.

Started until around nine. Walked home, with Damian and I going via Tesco Express and getting some beer and crisps.

Watched some TV including an interesting documentary about Lenin. Went to bed around midnight.

Friday On My Mind

It’s Friday. That is a week gone by already. Time flies when you’re not at work. Anyway, I was awake around quarter past seven. Laid there for a while reading the news on my phone, and then got up and made a pot of coffee.

Went back to bed and chilled for a while. Got up again, and showered and finished the coffee. Had some cheese spread on toast for breakfast.

Weird though, it feels like it’s the weekend – Saturday.

Started a little bit in the garden. Picked one of the tomato plants of its fruit, as we are likely to get some frosts in the next few nights which will kill the plants off anyway. It’s mild for the time of the year, but the temperatures are, generally, dropping after dark into the 30’s.

As it is a nice mild afternoon, I sat in in the back yard for a while to enjoy the warmth of the autumn sun. A glass of wine was a great accompaniment.

After a while the sun moved around, and I was in the shade. Feeling it was rather cooler I removed myself indoors, and watched some of the International Gymnastics from Dubai.
After that, Kathy was watching Poirot and I listened to some music via my iPhone and AirPods.

Kathy made dinner with a starter of some fried green tomatoes and then sausages with cauliflower mash and peas with a cheese sauce.

Cross-Posting & Social Media

IBM 2 Comments

Cross-posting blog posts to social media is useful. It allows for more exposure to a winder audience, and can help draw readers to the originating blog.

However, setting up cross-posting needs to be done carefully, or it can lead to unnecessary duplication, which not only looks unprofessional, but can lead to a loss of followers if they see the same post appearing several times in quick succession.
