Sunday was a very quiet day and greatly enjoyed. There were two really excellent sermons at the two online services that I attended one at Christ Church Winchester, England and one here at my Church. The music was lovely and I enjoyed every hymn. The young people are very involved in the Churches in England and their music has been quite interesting. The Choirs at the Cathedral are really quite spectacular.
I also worked on the matches and I am now down to 34 - completing that this week does seem doable and will see how the week goes. I want to introduce one will a day as well to transcribe and blog. Although this may seem contradictory to my writing it does all indeed lead into the books as well. I am really back into my hermit life once again as I watch the world events happen and the political issues rise and fall. I can do nothing about any of this and will only be affected if we lose our hydro and I cannot work on my books. My lifestyle is so simple that the food in the stores, the goods in the stores have very little effect on my life. The only real important item in my life is access to hydro as it is getting warmer now and even having heat has become less of an issue. Turning 80 is interesting actually; I have lived nearly 80s years of a life and the time left considerably shorter. Items that seemed so pressing in my youth have now dwindled away.
A beautiful sunny day at the moment but clouds are promised and it is twelve degrees celsius - a pretty normal May Day and the spring flowers are all blooming. The tulips will come one of these days but in the meantime I am not cutting grass until the dandelions have bloomed. The bees need our help and it is the least that I can do to make sure they have dandelions.
Cleaning day and it is the top floor so just a half day of cleaning. I will have to work at getting my 16 thousand steps today as it is much more difficult surprisingly on cleaning day. I think it is because I spend time on my knees dusting and the FitBit doesn't count that but with the "workout" selection I can at least get credit for the effort. It will be a 500 or so cardio load day. My Fitbit thinks I have been slacking off although I always am in the In Target range. That is the problem with AI unless you constantly remind it that you are nearly 80 it thinks you are young I think. Like the dumb terminals, AI needs to be instructed in absolutely every element and then you need to establish the queries so that you constantly reinforce what needs to be done. Can it be educated? That is the question perhaps. I do not think that it can ever emulate human emotion or ability of recall spontaneously to solve problems. It can spit out solutions but the human brain will have to sort it through in the long run.
But I do think AI is a great addition. I enjoy having Alexa set my timers and sound off when they are finished and spontaneously on the exact correct time tell me the reminders that I have fed into it.
Teatime and solitaire games already accomplished.
