It is the final letter in the word.
Everybody seems to remember the 'don't copy that floppy' warnings, but the less-popular 'don't whisk that disk' campaign has fallen into obscurity. 💾 #FloppyDay
The local electricity substation is being replaced. That means shortly the whole island is meant to be without power (and broadband) for a couple of hours. Feel like I should be taking bets on how long it's *actually* going to take 😜
#rhubarb update. SE/30 for scale.

I didn’t grow up in Orkney. I grew up in a place with less wind and more trees.
One of the things they taught us in school was that if you don’t have a compass, you can generally work out direction by the moss on trees. Wind usually comes from the west, so moss is usually thinnest on the west side of a tree.
Similar thing here. The wind usually comes from the west, so any dry rain shadow will be on the eastern side of an object 💁

Had a dream last night where I was on a train and didn’t have a chance to get a ticket beforehand. It was one of those trains where first class is the same as cattle class, just with sign that says first. It was the morning rush and even though we were heading away from town, the only place to sit was in first. We went through East Croydon even though I’m pretty sure it was a southwestern service, but wh’evz. Shortly after there, the ticket inspector started walking through. 🧵
