pcb: The Original Bear  (Default)
I was digging in the stack the other week and found the original of this picture from April 2019. All I can say is that Darktable And Gimp are very effective tools!

(EDIT I wonder if I added too much bloom to the window?)

After and Before:

Moving on, I have Yet Another Lurgie. Not too bad, but a gift from The Cub. Interestingly, I was expecting Covid, but, unlike The Panda, I was spared. We were working on the Postal Vote gig and the Panda realised that there were symptoms. The manager and her family had been, or became, Covid-positive around the start of the process so, looking back, transmission wasn't a surprise. We all took tests; I was still testing negative after the weekend, so, while The Panda worked from home at The Day Job, I set off for the town hall. And was turned around by a phone call from The Panda as I locked the front door behind me. Given the elderly nature of many of the workers, the manager did not wish to risk my presence.
We count this as Utter Hypocrisyâ„¢ *nods*. Her own family were allowed into the building until they became ill, I'm still testing negative. I'm peeved, I can tell you: not only did we miss the chance at some pocket money, we missed the entire vibe of Being There on Election Day. This is not a negligible vibe! While there are no results until the day after, it's an experience just being there. AND I was going to get in a block or two of halva while I was in town. Ah well. At least I got to do some cool photo-editing in the suddenly free day. Doesn't look too bad, does it?
