It's cold.
It's dark.
It's raining.
But ... it's polling day today in the UK, and we vote on a new government. Which means that by law they aren't allowed to campaign any more. Herself has had the TV news on for over ten minutes and not once have they mentioned the "B" word! Or slagged off the "opposition". Ahhhhh ...
To be honest the presenters are looking somewhat lost without the only thing they have covered for three and a half years. 
Only problem is ... this ends at 22:00, and then they will be back to "normal".
If only this day could last forever ...

Yes, it is strangely quiet here - no school run of course.

I bet you can make that run in less than 12 parsecs. 
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Not on a normal schoolday he can't!
You just try enabling warp drive during the school run, and you'll be ejecting the warp core before you get 100m.

Do they even have groundhogs in Wales?

We have roadhogs.
And groundnuts.
So that probably counts.

Listened to R4 on the drive in to work. Great to have news rather than politicians lying

The Radio 4 Farming Today programme at 05:45 was talking about communing with trees.

Now that the election campaign is over, you're more likely to get a response from them than from a politician.

OK, that's a downside.
But I don't listen to radio at 05:45, so I'll let it pass. #TodayForever!

Not just normal - it'll be worse tonight while they get over-excited about the latest exit poll & prediction, or a potential sighting of B**** in a freezer or tumble dryer or something...

It seemed clear that most of you preferred Microsoft Visio rather than any other flowchart software.
I must tell you Draw.io seems a very nice software too... and it has the plus that it's free...
Visio is the one to go.
Thank you all for all your recommendations.

I have a Mac Mini that is really slow - almost to the point of unusable even though it has 8GB RAM and a dual core i5. Realistically I think it is the disk i/o and I will soon switch it out for an SSD (but it'll take hours to take it apart and put it back together again and I'm lazy).
Sidebar : Check out this step-by-step guide to replacing HDD with SSD[^] -- you basically rip the entire Mac Mini apart and rebuild it.
Today I saw that Apple is offerring the latest Macs and some trade-in value for old stuff.
They said they'd give me UP TO $230 if I trade in on a new mac pro tower $5,999.00
Snapshot of the mac page with prices[^] :
Buy Mac Pro - Apple[^]
Well, that all seems very reasonable.

But much more likely $0.230.

Wow! 6K in the PC world could buy an incredible machine. I would get an AMD 3800 and a Titan RTX and who knows what else along with a really nice monitor. That would be a fun shopping spree. I had one at work six months ago with a budget considerably larger. That was great fun!
