A new experience last night. When I got the new car home, I noticed a message on its screen: "please log into your WiFi and upgrade your car's operating system", or words to that effect. Fortunately I was able to schedule exactly when the download was to take place, as the car was to be immobilized during the hour+ that was required. So, this morning, I have an upgraded Navigation system (that now remembers the chargers that I have used in the past) and the crash-avoiding automatic braking has apparently been improved too.
Today was the 18th June - the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. This year made all the more interesting by being the 200th such. My Belgian upbringing makes this one of the more interesting dates in UK military history and we have enjoyed our trip(s) there in recent years. The combination of a few interesting museums and the opportunity to look at the essentially unchanged battlefield from the top of the Lion monument makes it an excellent tourist stop.
When I was thinking through this Blog entry, I was going to make the link between Waterloo (meaning great victory in English, and something rather different in French) and our second round Flitch match at Burhill. Unfortunately, one of our opponents was feeling under the weather so that we didn't get to play today. So the link doesn't work....
We did though get the chance to watch some of the first round from the US Open: how about that course!? And it's only 8 years old...
