GNS3 Editing Continues

Whilst I may be taking a rest from office work, I can't imagine anything worse than being bored. 

A Needed Office Break

Desperate to regain whatever little sanity I have, I've walked away from my office job for a week for a little self-care.  Checkimg my stress levels later, I could see my stress levels peaking shortly before I asked for a half dat and the rest of the week off work. You can actually see my stress drop when I was told my leave was granted and it plummeting as I left the office a little after mid-day:

Having no house keys on me, I spent the afternoon wandering around Swansea to remind myself just how beautiful my home city really is, before being picked up later that afternoon.

 

 

I ended my 11k step walk by a look round The Dylan Thomas Centre, where they had the acual doors to to the writer's writing shed. Reminds my of my shed door :)

A Little Pigeon History

Did you know that Rock Doves were bred like chickens are today for their their meat and eggs. Like chickens, they were bred to encourage regular menstration (eggs are birds' periods). When chickens replaced pigeons, the farmed pigeons were relealed en masse into the wild. Naturally breeding on cliffs, pigeons saw cities as cliffs, which is why they gather there to this day. Bred close to humans for so long in the past, they are still semi tame to this day. Here are a few Swansea pigeons hanging out outside Tesco Marina.

Beautiful Pigeons

Pigeons are beautiful. The risk of getting a disease from a pigeon is no higher than from other birds or pet, and the many diseases linked to them, are more common in domestic pets and farm animals. Here are two of the beauties, who mate for life and are another species cruelly treated by humans. https://www.littlegreenpigeon.co.uk/
