chilly

The house we're renting at the moment is a pretty typical London Edwardian house: drafty, ill-maintained windows through which gales often howl. The owners did put in some secondary glazing but it's pretty useless, being, as it is, held on by badly glued on magnetic strips. 

The slight winds (by northern Britain standards) last night meant a delightful draft reminiscent of camping in an old-school canvas tent blowing through our bedroom and part of the garden fence blowing down. Which meant the first chore this morning was fixing the fence.

The NAS and disks arrived (thanks, Amazon Prime!), were slotted together and the great data migration has started. Music, documents and movies done; photos are in progress (from one machine). It's going to be a good couple of days of shuffling stuff around until it's all done.

The NAS is a bit of a revelation - RAID, support for all kinds of filesystems, apps, cloud backup, remote access, blah blah blah and it is tiny, silent, cheap and very simple to get up and running. It's the kind of thing that people used to do themselves a few years ago with an old desktop but why bother now? 

+1/2 just before heading out on an early evening run.
