I'm going to log out of GA for a while, to stop me keep getting distracted by all the notification sounds. I've the second chapter of my The Charmed Life Of Danny Murphy novel just about finished, and am hoping to get it uploaded in the next 24 to 48 hours. But I really need to spend time reading it through, removing any obvious errors, and maybe tidying it up a bit in places. I'll probably be back to annoy yous all in six hours time or so. Be good, now, whilst I'm gone. I don't want to come back and find you've left the place in a mess... Spoiler Okay, I'm back again... I find editing my own work can really mess with my head at times. The constant 'Should I add a comma here?' - 'Is this comma really necessary? - 'Could I use a better word here?' - 'Does this really explain what I want to say?' type of questions often leave my mind completely frazzled at times. I swear I find it easier to edit other people's work than I do my own! So about an hour before dark I decided to just put the editing to one side for the day and head out into the fresh air for a while, even though it was drizzling a little. And a forty five minute or so walk in the woods really did help to clear my head. Of course, I wasn't going to go without my Trusty Nikon, so I had to take it with me. I noticed that, in spite of the fact that there's been hardly any sun this past while, the blackberries are flowering well. Hopefully there will be enough bright sunshine in late July and early August to enable them to form full and tasty fruits eventually. I am rather partial to blackberry pie, after all. And, if there's a good crop, maybe I'll have enough to freeze and/or make blackberry jam with... Anyway, I couldn't resist photographing the blackberry flowers themselves. One nice thing about my Trusty Nikon is that it will take reasonably good photographs even when the light is low, as it was tonight.

I just push buttons but it is good for the environment so that's all I need to know. It may be that it is not too harmful for the environment now you have it installed in your home. However, I can't help but wonder just what harm may have been done to the environment in its manufacture. All those minerals that had to be mined, refined, and transported from however many far-flung corners of the world... All that fossil fuel that had to be burned in the factory where it was assembled.... All the fossil fuel that needed to be converted to make its plastic parts... But, sure, don't mind me. I just love to play the devil's advocate (or do I mean I just love to piss on other people's parades?) Edited June 1, 2019 by Marty 2 1 2
