Taught the boys a little about the raspberry pi and electronic concepts, as much as I know myself anyway. We reconnected the raspberry pi robot components, hot-glueing it all together this time for a bit of sturdiness in the robot body this time. We connected the line following sensor and ran the code that shows "hey I can see a black line" and "nope the black line is gone now". Tomorrow maybe we'll try and make it follow a line along the ground, we need to write more code for that. It's a very gentle intro for them and a bit of python practice for me.
We got a delivery! A man came to the door! Under the new regime though he ran back down the path leaving the parcel at the door. I thought it was going to be a new Nespresso delivery; I'm still in credit there and have committeed to paying in for the rest of the year, so nothing to be saved by trying to cancel this outgoing. I ordered another 150 capsules yesterday, so at least while locked in we have coffee. But no, it's not coffee. It's a big heavy box addressed to Clare with BREWDOG on the side...
Another lovely bright clear spring day out there, a high of 10° and a low of 3° so not as warm as it looks. Still great to be able to sit on the balcony with a cuppa and a book and look out on a peaceful neighbourhood. You'd not know it was the end of the world.
Hmm off licences are now considered essential. I like a drink as much as the next person, possibly a lot more in fact, but this doesn't seem right to me. It doesn't quite tie in with the advice to only do one shop per week either.
raspberry pi: Credit card sized super cheap computer, awesome.
