Lady Hillary and I are helping out at an isolated/observed radio operator's test this coming Saturday. This Sunday, we went to a place called Washington Rock to check out one of the devices that allow you to broadcast to all of the FM radios in the neighborhood. This will be used to instruct the testees.
After we finished the checkout, we decided it was too nice to go home and back to isolation, so we went to the only one of our local lakes that was open and went rowing for a couple of hours.
That's the right way to spend a June afternoon. It's also why we carry the boat everywhere we go with the van during the warm weather, just in case.

I've lived here most of this century and since lockdown have seen a boat or two on the River, even someone swimming upstream one day. Never seen here before.

"There is nothing -- absolutely nothing --
half so much worth doing as
simply messing about in boats."

-- from Wind in the Willows,

which John Lennon, in an interview,
said he loved, as a child.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river . .

JHW, which river?

The Mersey, of course! Bwahahaha!

Actually I am enjoying a sunburn gleaned from a lakeside (private, our public ones are closed) beach, aaahh, on Tuesday. A friend is moving out of a gated community so I asked to come enjoy the beach before they left... Brazen! [To channel Erich Kästner]
