Gregory Porter's AI Gardening Hat


You can't open a newspaper or news website with some astounding story about artificial intelligence and the fact we're all about to be replaced by robots. If that's so, why does it take Google Voice and Samsung Bixby about 4 attempts to understand what I'm saying, and still provide me with precisely the wrong information or open the wrong mobile app? I don't think we need worry just yet. AI, as it currently stands, seems to have even less intelligence than a slug.


Hay was reading something yesterday about a head gardener's course called A Head Gardener's Year. Believe it nor not, a head gardener's year is exactly the same length as my year. She bought a pair of Levi skinny jeans yesterday in Nailsworth - 27 inch waist (which, apparently, is a size 8) - and reckoned she could have gone an inch smaller. She's nearly as slim as me. Not bad for 52 years of age and 6 feet tall though.


Gregory Porter's ubiquitous hat - what's that all about? Good name for a band - Gregory Porter's Hat....

Tried a bit more yesterday with the spray-on frosting; there's no difference between the sandblasted glass and the sprayed one, but neither are the effect I'm looking for on the chandelier - a sharp, crisp, white frosting.


The one of the left is the spray frosting. Apparently a lot of frosting on glass these days is moulded on.

No need to worry about AI, but as usual, we do need to worry about the cash that idiots who think AI is a panacea will waste on it.

Would probably prove infinitely better than the government at negotiating Brexit.

We were in Nailsworth last weekend at the donkey sanctuary.

Ah, I'd escaped for the day, so you wouldn't have seen me there...
