RIP John Mayall
For those of over 60 John Mayall was one of the ways we discovered the blues (and its interaction with Jazz) in the 1960s/70s.... a fabulous advocate for the blues whose (often) mixed-race bands were a lesson in recognising your influences.

Went for a walk. The clouds were in fine, fine form. Slightly badly behaved though.
Seriously, the clouds were spectacular today. Look at this fluffy beast!

Fuchsia flowers, in both bud and blooming forms, always make me think of fancy frocks. So aye.
The sun is peeking out. It's due to rain later. I desperately need to go and tidy the garden a bit as it is even wilder than usual.
Bah. Don't want to, but I'm going to, because apparently that's who I am now.
#PPOD: NASA's Curiosity rover ran over a rock and found crystals inside! They're pure sulfur. Elemental sulfur is something we’ve never seen before on Mars. We don't know much about these yellow crystals yet, but the team is already at work to figure it out! Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
It's all fun and game until your Windows-powered electronic bidet decides to power wash you.

To fix the bungled CrowdStrike update, apparently you need to boot the system into safe mode and remove a file.
If the system was encrypted with Bitlocker, you need to enter the system's Bitlocker recovery key.
Apparently, many people are discovering they didn't have key management in place to store Bitlocker recovery keys, making it akin to a self-inflicted ransomware attack.
