It's a good read. A couple of things that stood out for me were Dean's quote, which I hadn't heard before, and that the Shard is visible from so far off. Albeit, judging by the photo, from the top of a hill.

It caught me by surprise, you know the way you're riding along and sometimes don't really know exactly where you are... I was in a world of my own at the time, I came around a corner and realised that the M25 was in front of me. I was coming downhill from near Cuffley:

Very interesting.

I now regularly have a cooked breakfast: kippers or a (vegetarian) fry-up: both score much better than porridge or museli. And dark chocolate scores a lot higher for me than virtually all fruit.

What is the score for, and why is porridge scoring so low? I thought porridge (especially with non-dairy milk) is good for heart health and slow release energy.

Similar question on the dark chocolate, what is the score basis?

Further and Faster / Re: New bike for Audax from Halfords.

You could try this 100km audax local to you, on your existing bike. Talk to others on the ride, see what they are riding, see how you go, and it will help inform your decisions on what to ride.

Ctrl-Alt-Del / Re: Should I go to kali linux to practice hacking a windows hard drive

If the question is should you use Kali, the answer is "if you need to ask, the answer is no"

Kali is a highly specialised distro, and not for the newbie.

Oh I don't mean to imply they were doing anything wrong.

Just very odd to see such a large airplane at such a low altitude.

The altitude reported on Flightradar24 seemed to match what I saw.

Our heating is getting a lot less use.  Sadly, this is because barakta is no longer living in the dining room, rather than any substantial improvement in the weather.
