A Relief

Well that's a relief. The printer is working again now. The Gorse Fox had to swap some of the print cartridges, but it did the trick.

It was a lovely day. Bright sunshine for most of the day and it was really very warm when the Gorse Fox strode out onto the pitch for today's football. Six games as usual, with two separate groups of players. Our team for the first three games looked quite strong - but then looking at the other three teams we realised that this going to be a tough hour. So it turned out. We lost the first game 1-0, the second 3-0 and drew the last game. The problem was that in def-con 3 mode, the Gorse Fox spent the whole hour defending and marking. There was no time to "play" only to defend and block.

The second hour was a little different. The first game was 1-1 and the next two games were comfortable wins for our team. Again he found himself marking a very proficient attacker for the whole hour. The attacker, Bill, was getting very fed up as the Gorse Fox had him under control and never started more than a couple of paces from him. This, however, was equally frustrating for the Gorse Fox as he didn't get a chance to roam or attack.

The Gorse Fox has spent the last part of the afternoon looking for CCTV cameras. There have been a few bandits wandering around a nearby estate and breaking into cars. He's looking for solutions that will allow him to monitor and record the space around our house. More research needed, but he may build his own system with a Raspberry Pi.
