Very civilised weekend

[fivemack]

Saturday morning and Sunday evening got me a reasonable way along the path to effective fruit-fly orthogonalisation; I suspect I may be using the wrong sort of model for the regions involved, but I've a Cunning Plan to fix that which will still use most of what I wrote today. Tomorrow I need to figure out the interfaces to ImageJ so that I can work with real images; I'm currently displaying everything as large square blocks of characters, in best BBC Micro style.

After Saturday lunch, a lovely walk up on the Magog Heath and Wandlebury, with ewx, beckyc, naath, hsenag, stephdiary and sonicdrift; then to Becky's for tea and cakes, red wine, more cakes brought by mobbsy, episodes of Xena, Haribo (macht Kinder fröh, und Erwachsene ebenso!), pasta, more red wine, more Xena, port, even more Xena, and back home before I fell over.

Sunday morning and lunchtime occupied with a walk round the back of Anglesey Abbey, along disused railway lines and past an exceptionally playful free-range hound. Sunday evening, dinner with Mum and Dad of pheasant casserole followed by apple crumble.

It's not Friday, and I'm not an American political blogger, but this sign on a Kuala Lumpur recycling bin seemed too good not to share:

Hey there. :) I was idly cruising the Web in search of Xena references and stumbled on your blog. So you're a Xena fan, eh? Always nice to meet another one of us! :D

Not really a Xenite myself; the afternoon was more intended as an indoctrination session, and possibly the first half of series six wasn't quite the right place to start ...

Indoctrinate? Moi? I merely happened to invite people over to watch my new DVDs ;-)

Yikes, the first half of Season 6! don't tell me you had to suffer through the Mephistopheles and Lucifer episodes. :( No, not the best intro to the show. But we Xenites do love to proselytize. ;)

I don't suppose it's a deliberate reference, but I couldn't help being reminded of "Don't be a dick. Recycle. (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Kitten_huffing#The_cupped_hands_approach)"
