Fortunately, @sazzy, rellyab and many others are, and have. Props to you all, keep going, I will support you however I can.

Watching Private Life of Plants, from the year I was born. It has aged well, and remains my favourite Attenborough series.

The value of #geo machine #tags and rev. geo coding: even though I don't yet have a fancy distance-queryable database, my notes can be queried by location. For example, notes I have posted in Devon.
