Waiting

Even in Tuscany the weather flips and flops. 10c this afternoon in the rain. Keeping this lot inside for another day or two.

Feeling fairly yuk after my AZ jag, head woolly, background nausea, absence of energy. Have kept to my bed most of the day.

Read up about Bitcoin and the massive energy usage needed to drive computers to audit transactions by finding hexadecimal numbers that can take quintillions of calculations to be discovered and matched.

In the industry they call this process ‘mining’ but frankly that’s an insult to the real miners who, at least in parts of China, are mining real coal to make real electricity to make this possible.

It’s the first day I’ve had in bed since the pandemic began.
