   pappardelle and a new British comedy
Wednesday, March 25 2026 [REDACTED]

This afternoon Charlotte and Neville almost replicated their behavior from yesterday over at Crazy Dave's cottage. But Neville didn't make it down into the shallow gorge, so I was able to stop them before it turned into too much of a hubbub with Crazy Dave's dogs. Later I tried to get Charlotte to go for a walk up the Farm Road with me, but she didn't want to go and only followed me a couple hundred feet.

I then made the usual Wednesday night pasta meal, this time using pappardelle from Trader Joe's, which is a fun wide noodle that Gretchen had specifically requested.
After Jeopardy, we started a new British series called Small Prophets, written by and starring Mackenzie Crook, the guy who played Andy in Detectorists. But the biggest star is Pearce Quigley, the guy who played Russell in Detectorists. It seems to be another gentle comedy, one with an especially leisurely pace of exposition.

After dinner, I took a bath to take advantage of all the solar heat collected today. For the first time in years, I didn't take an electronic device into the bath with me but instead took a book Gretchen had brought home for me from the bookstore: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (who also wrote the Martian, another modern novel that I actually read). I read the first chapter and will probably continue, though so far I haven't much enjoyed the narrator's voice, which is nerdy, prudish, and extremely mainstream.

This evening I managed to get file uploads (to a directory on the backend server) of files in the LittleFS file system of my ESP8266 Remote Control devices. I don't have much uses for such files, but if I want to use them, it will be very helpful to be able to manipulate and retrieve them remotely, which I now can do.
