14 March 2021 - Location app error; Spud in a tub; Slow time
Hello everyone,
“Mea culpa” as we used to say long ago in my Latin classes or as youngsters today say “My bad”. Thank you to everyone who pointed out my non-deliberate mistake with the ap that defines position to a 3 metre square in just three words. Even though Jez had written it correctly for me as what3words and I actually have it on my phone I still managed not to include the correct name. But what3words is the ap you need to identify your house to the emergency services.
A reminder about the Spud in a Tub competition. If you haven’t already got your single seed potato growing away in some rich compost in its tub then you still have time to get going as judging will likely take place at the beginning of August. I’ll update you later on the exact date.
A while ago I passed St Andrew’s Church on one of my regular walks and noting the time on the tower clock worked out that I was going very fast indeed. So fast that it dawned on me perhaps the clock was wrong, and so indeed it was. 15 minutes slow in fact. In the weeks since it has become slower and slower until it is now nearly fifty minutes behind GMT. The Town clock on the esplanade suffered in the same way a while ago, so perhaps there is a clock bug doing the rounds?
Stay safe and smiling
Chris
