A calm mild evening taking a walk around my favourite harbour. I'm blessed to call this place home

So today, I confused HTTP headers - treating "Host" as "Origin". Which was a bit daft. Worst still, I confused the two when emailing a developer from another company. Over two decades of experience down the drain! 😂🤣 #softwaredev #programming

The sky can change so quickly in the Lake District but is always a wonder to look at and always inspires me.
