Compost

 I was drifting in and out of sleep, there was no particular imperative that would encourage me to get out of bed. I was resting. I was content. Then Jasper came into the bedroom, yowling at the top of his voice. That was it. I had to get up and my first lie-in opportunity was shattered. It was 7:00 and I was downstairs letting him out into the garden. That put me in a foul mood to start the day.

Over the next hour, coffee was imbibed and the news was consumed. When Di emerged I prepared myself for the day. Di wanted me to help her raid the local nursery, so I sat and reviewed some YouTube videos about AI, while she got ready. We headed off to Shopwycke and picked up a 75-litre bag of compost then headed home.

It was time for a walk. I looped around the lake and then up Berry Lane to North Bersted Street which I followed all the way to Shripney before turning and retracing my steps. I was out for just over an hour and was surprised by how many dog walkers I saw (compared with yesterday) - they were out in force, clutching the poop bags and their doggies' leads.

When I got home, Di was missing. She had been summoned by Zoe for some garden consultation. I made some lunch and was just sitting down as she walked in. She spent the afternoon pottering in the garden. I had settled down for some Kindle time but was interrupted by a call from Zoe who needed help digging up a plant that she wanted to move. I wandered round and dug it up for her (having had to return home to get a fork and spade, as she doesn't have any).

The rest of the afternoon was spent preparing dinner while watching some more YouTube videos on AI. One statistic that stuck in my mind was that ChatGPT 4 has 1 trillion links in its language model, compared to the human brain which has 100 trillion. I will certainly explore the various AI engines in more detail.
