Not crazy, but I always thought Giggleswick and Wiggleswoth on opposite sides of A65 is funny.

I ended up in a far too youthful hotel on a business trip last week. Ghetto blaster and football in the yard in the middle of the night was not what I needed. Not last night of the trip, though, as they moved to a room just down the hallway. Seldom have I appreciated my own bed as much as on return home.
As expected, the Brexit faithful and the rightwing press are already at it: unacceptable, sellout, waiving the white flag, surrender, capitulation, etc. This deal could prove to be rather popular, so the outrage crowd may find their attacks fall a bit flat.
I’m away at the moment, but I’ll try to remember to add a pic when I get back home.
I’m more of the BBQ decking, raised flowerbed for the tortoise and somehow keep the front of the house buxus alive type gardener.
The weekend was great, and we got a lot done in the garden while enjoying the weather.
These weeks just keep passing by somehow. Without getting too philosophical, it was a good one. Me and Mrs had nice walks with the dogs, a fair bit of garden work got done, and even the car got a thorough clean.
Oh, and unexpectedly the shoe army marches to Cardiff. Come on you Saints!
In the sense that there are usable qubits, and single and two qubits gates that one needs in computations, it does work. Presently coherence times are too short and number of qubits too low for practically useful computations, though.
Regardless, a lot can be learned in projects like this about integrating conventional and quantum computing. One has to start somewhere.
They’ll be implementing several updates over the coming years to push towards useful computations. The engineering challenges are formidable and the road will be long and bumpy.
Not a single ‘no parking’ sign is sight, street and walkway clear, frankly I don’t see much of a problem.
Farage is what Farage does. Bellend.
This is great, isn’t it.
The weather has been kind this weekend, so I cleaned the BBQ and made ribs & wings.
Lamb, rosemary and garlic is a match made in heaven. The only thing to do now is wait for several hours, and perhaps down a glass or three of red.
On Friday we got our annual treat: half a lamb from a farm near us. We made rosemary, chilli and garlic butter, roast potatoes, cavolo nero, cauliflower and carrots with lamb chops. The chops are as fresh and tasty as can be, simply great!
After numerous long evenings and weekends our sauna is back in use. Completely renovated shower room, new floor in the dressing room, floor heating in both, new stove, new lights, benches sanded down and appropriately treated, sauna room walls washed and treated, log building painted from the outside. The works. Today it was in use for the first time and the electricity was free 2-4 pm as part of the Octopus Energy trial, so it didn’t even cost a penny to heat! This is our boys conducting a quality inspection.
Just back from a three day event with the dogs. They are absolutely exhausted, so they will likely sleep the rest of the day. I should do laundry.
