I took Rob back to Bristol today. I think he's pleased to be back abd I suppose this is a good thing.

Stopped off at Staples on the way back to see, on the off chance, whether they had a 5V, 1500mA power adapter for the Raspberry-Pi. They didn't.

I'm going to attempt to run if off a USB port and see whether I can actually start its SSH server. If so, I may be able to run it "headless" and without a keyboard from a USB port. However USB ports are limited at 500mA... I still may run into difficulties.

The photo below is from my walking trip in the Alps in 2010.

It's a nice spot. My family camped there twice in the early 70s. We stayed there one year for 5 weeks.

It was much more overgrown back then and there was very little quality pasture like there is now. The village of Nevache, which she see in the background, is also rather more developed than it was back then, though it - thankfully - has resisted many of the temptations to which lots of other high alpine vilages have succumbed.

I also camped there in the summer of 1976 for three weeks with the two Dicks, (Pears and Perry). We used this spot as our "valley base". A week after we returned to the UK I went off to Glasbury where I met Louise.

I spent a few hours there in 2010.
