Friday Night Dinner: Pho
Not far from Baker Street station, on the named street itself, is a whole row of more down-to-earth eateries. Pho is one of them, specialising in Pho, a Vietnamese broth. It has more of a café lunch vibe, than an evening dinner vibe, but that doesn't mean they can't crack out tasty dishes for dinner.
We were sat in the back, with some 90s golden oldies playing as tunes.
We shared a starter of pork spring rolls, served with a nước chấm sauce. We thought it would be more authentic than a peanut sauce. The rolls came at the same time as our mains, and very quickly after ordering. For her main, my wife had a green papaya salad, with prawns. I enjoyed the phở xào — wok fried noodles with lemongrass, chilli, and Asian greens — served with chicken and prawns. They were both well flavoured dishes, although the chopsticks made it a bit of a challenge to eat leisurely.
Pho was a quick and tasty meal, but nothing particularly exciting. Maybe we can try their actual phở in winter time.

I think this was my favourite photo of the set that I took. It's not at maximum coverage, but it does have a sun spot group (4508) just on the cusp of the terminator.

No totality here in London, but still had a great evening out in the local park and taking some snaps.
I did have a nice Solar Filter that I made for my lens, and had many conversations with people from different backgrounds. Kids loves to look through my filter after I was done (ran out of battery power).
More photos later...

Is there somebody who runs PHP on native windows (with Xdebug) and can run a simple script for me?
It must be in a file (`test.php`):
```
<?php
echo microtime(true), "\n";
xdebug_connect_to_client();
echo microtime(true), "\n";
```And run like:
php -dxdebug.log_level=11 -dxdebug.log=c:\temp\xdebug-i.log -dxdebug.client_host=localhost -dxdebug.client_port=9111 -dxdebug.mode=debug c:\temp\test.php
With the port 9111 not open.
Would love to see the output and log file (in a DM).

I got myself a sheet of Sun-safe filter material, and McGuyvered a pop-up filter for my lens.
The first attempt sort of worked, but I didn't get the filter 100% straight. Luckily I have more material.
But this is sort of my first attempt, and a few sunspots are clearly visible on the right of the image.
Warning: Never look at the Sun without protection!
