The Digest 25/05/25

The rail for the electric gate that I mentioned last week immediately stepped up. Our electric gate is effectively an electric wall now.

Spring

I've been rewatching the West Wing - you know, the TV series that imagines the Democrats hid information from the public about an unwell President. Pah! As if.

The Digest 18/05/25

In Monopoly terms, I've turned over the Community Chest card that levies house repairs having put loads of houses on Bond Street, Regent Street, Oxford Street, Park Lane and Mayfair.

On the Box

Perhaps it's the state of the world, or the effects of semi-retirement, or maybe it's the wisdom of age, but I've gone soft.

Working Tools

The most obvious benefit? I'm saving a fortune on subscriptions. My mobile phone is Android, and therefore Google, and some apps seem inescapable; WhatsApp is ubiquitous here.

Trump 100

He's not a power-obsessed fascist. He's not the leader of an evil empire. He's not a Mafia don. He's not desperately seeking the approval of his Mummy. Actually, all of those might be inadvertently true, but none of them is the essence of Trump.

The Digest 04/05/25

Proof of address in Cyprus can be fun. There are at least six variants of my village's name. Two of them appear on road signs within metres of each other.

Limassol Greens

If the greens are kept hard and fast, windy conditions will be a real challenge. Some of the bunkering looked intimidating, and there's plenty of water around and about. I look forward to playing it. Particularly as I'll be able to walk it.
