Well done to the Matildas for reaching the quarter finals of the Women’s World Cup. I never thought 75,000 people would watch a women’s soccer match in Australia or that I would find it as enthralling as it was.

Bodhi Linux

I’m testing Bodhi Linux in Virtualbox, using the default Enlightenment windows manager. So far I’m very impressed with the speed.

Winter cold is brief in Queensland, like one day. It was overcast and showery today at Bundaberg and the maximum temperature was 17 degrees. Back to 23 tomorrow. Hello spring!

Sunspot removed

I had a sunspot removed last week. The doctor ordered a biopsy and the results came back today, all clear. The procedure was a quick shave excision after a local anaesthetic. It’s healing nicely.

I have a Twitter account @goreythings which I hardly use. Trying out Threads @mgorey67. Don’t really understand where Elon Musk is heading with Twitter.

Back on the track

Running again

Lost some weight and started jogging again for the first time in three years, very slowly. Today did 3km at 7:35; first effort was 2.4km at 8:12. Used to run 5:30 between 5-10km.
