What time do you call this!!??

Another shite week for me, but a long weekend to finish it off. 7 mile walk today with a wee ice cream and donut treat at the end!

Heh, reddit has a bot to auto post this thread. I probably could whip one up, but I don't have the infrastructure to host it currently. That costs recurring cash, and I've no other real use, though a gemini server might be nice

7 mile a guid walk mind, fit's that in aid o? An fit flavour yer ice cream? The wife says ah'm boring as ah gang fer vanilla usual like, but cannae be beat if ye ask me!

Lol that sounds complicated and was like another language to me!! Is it programming you do?

Just off work and wanted something to do so we walked a wee bit of the River Ayr way. Theres some cool gorges and ancient cup and ring marks and if you walk far enough along it theres a bit called Peden's Pulpit where one of the Covenanters used to preach (if i'm remembering right!!)

I love vanilla too and usually pick it but we had a donut stack each which was 2 proper donuts with ice cream in between and sauce on top. I had bueno flavoured with nutella sauce and the other half had biscoff with toffee sauce!! Delicious!!

Too adventurous for me those flavours. And aye, Ayr and Galloway full of conventars and priest holes, some gruesome tales too. Cups and rings hypothesised as early grinding stones for crops right?

And aye, it's the day job. But I try to be a bit of a renaissance man, do a bit of everything

I wish I knew more about the covenanters! I also don't know much about cup and ring marks! I think they can be wide ranging like prehistoric art work or used in sacrificing animals, but really I've no clue! I just like that they are really old and someone did that hundreds of years ago and I can touch them now!!

I think if you work in IT you need to be able to do a bit of everything but programming sounds so tricky!!
