...because I need to go and cook dinner.

Very windy. Very, VERY, windy.

Legs twinging a bit but didn't feel the need to stop. Brief on the spot jog had to take place at one point while I disentangled the dog.

ETA

App had a glitch at the beginning so I ended up doing 2 x 5minute warm up walks.

Mapmyfitness had me at 5k after 50mins and some seconds when I was still a road and some houses away from home.

Wow, so windy that the town is almost vertical. Hope it didn't blow away completely ;-)

Why does it do that? I thought I took it as landscape too 😂

TomasGraduate in reply toMaddee_6333

There's a tag in your exif data that says whether it's meant to be portrait or landscape format. Some systems fail to recognise this flag. Could be your phone, your computer, HU, or even wherever the pic is temporarily stored that messes it up. It's one of those standards that are 98% followed, and a pain to fix when you deal with the remaining 2%.

Gotcha I think I must be one of the 2%. I got round it the other day by cropping the pic I wanted to post so that it was square

Is it every picture? Is it everywhere or only here? Is it only your phone or also other family members? If you can identify a pattern you're 75% towards solving it.

So which part of the chain doesn't work?

I don't have enough data to decide. Although I have jusy noticed that doubletapping the space bar in here doesn't give me a full stop, like it should do, either.

Sounds like good analysis. I like the realisation of there not being enough data (can you tell I work with computers and want everybody else to suffer as well?)

I thought you might :D Can you tell I know just enough basic html and css to be dangerous?

Tomas profile image
TomasGraduate in reply toMaddee_6333

Hahaha, anyone who can spell css is a good 'un in my books. It's all very logical, but there are SO many details to remember. I can't. That's why I hang around on fora and give advice instead ;-)

Well done - it was very windy out today, wasn't it!!!

And of course I had to be running along a hilltop!😊

TomasGraduate in reply toMaddee_6333

Along a hilltop is better than up a hill. No?

When you live on The Downs you can't really do one without the other.

Tomas profile image
TomasGraduate in reply toMaddee_6333

True that. I live in the East Riding of Yorkshire. You know the saying about "flat as a pancake"? Well, pancakes' flatness were modeled on nature around here. On a 10 km ru I'll be lucky to have 3 m ascent. So I feel for you, The Downs
