Here's a collection of photos I took today at the beach I go to. It's not normally so dressed up, but at the moment they are having the Sculptures by the Sea exhibition, so it's a lot more popular during weekdays than usual. The swimmers get it back after next weekend. I took these photos around five o'clock this afternoon.

And some more detail is available on that bunker ad, I mean exhibit....

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

Until now, I didn't realise this was a thing which a transman could catch. Be warned, my brothers!

Concerning my mum's missing watch. I had thought it might have been left at the hairdressers. which is just one floor down at the Beaumont. So Mike, the manager, and I looked in there on Tuesday after hours, it having gone missing the previous Friday. We saw nothing and concluded it wasn't there, because surely it would've been handed in. I was mystified because I did what I considered a police-standard search of M's apartment. [And yes, I've seen one]

Today I got an email saying the watch had been found! At the hairdresser's. I was over at the Beaumont again, delivering drugs. M's prolia, which the doc kindly rang me up at 8 am to say was due, and please see it was in the office fridge! Mike's wife Karen said she thought the failure to find was due to men looking. Mike got accused of "domestic blindness."  Karen thought I was just as useless! Of course I didn't explain why I was happy to be accused of gender-based incompetence, but so glad that one is over.
