Who knew buying a sofa was so difficult. I feel 3 yr old me who threw a tantrum in Woolworths after too much shopping is bubbling up.

Getting the opportunity to be bored for a while. Waiting for an engineer visit in the 8am-1pm time slot.

Been on hold so long I’ve improved my my right hand writing. Still not good at joined up though.

Printing from my PC is definitely haunted. It used to be that 50% of prints would stop 1/3 down a page. Now it’s printing 2 copies of things.

@adrianedmondson.bsky.social the new guy isn’t going to use a lecturn/podium.

So we have a new PM. In a sign of getting on a bit, he’s the 4th PM younger than me. I wonder if all following PMs will be youngsters.

I don’t like to whinge, but bloody hell Windows. To load a new card into my card reader it would seem I have to reboot the pc. It used to work. I’ve changed nothing. Grrrr

Been watching some rally action. Now I’m refuelled I’ll head back out to a different location

Apart from expected email, I’ve stopped looking email on a regular basis. I seem to have 1800 un-read. Mostly spam I suspect.

Is it actually possible to get an openreach master socket moved. @vodafonegroup.bsky.social passed me over to openreach and they batted me straight back. How much is star link

Eye test day. I was too tall for the first machine. So eyes and knees tested

Funny thing about travelling for work at the end of the 90’s and early 2000’s is I missed a bunch of TV. Just happened upon Perfect Strangers by Stephen Poliakoff. A cast of stars and quite interesting so far

Oh boy, it’s got a bit toasty- and I’m in southern Scotland.

A neighbour is fine driving their Sky box, but the LG TV is a different beast. Complex and confusing. It even has a silly pointy thing built in to the remote. Not easy for some folk. I should book a time and see if we can disable the nonsense or at least boot into TV mode.

I guess it was inevitable the ban of social media for under 16s given some of the content out there. I feel sorry for the curious future engineers and scientists trying to learn about their interests outside of school. I was lucky to have an endless choice of computer & electronics mags.

Had a lovely hassle free 80 mile drive through southern Scotland scenery. Of course the people behind me going steady with a horse trailer were more stressed. There really are some arses out there. I slowed down and even pulled over a few times.

Bloomin Nora Windows. I was perfectly happy with the config of MY pc and the default apps. Why are you trying to take over and sell me stuff. Grrr

I’ve been standing most of the day being a volunteer. I’ve just sat in a camping chair. I fear, I’m not going to be able to get up. Send beer

No sign of a heatwave in sw Scotland at the moment. Still jumper weather.

Have I just gone back to the 90’s (if so I want my hair back). Windows 11 has a command line text editor. How long has that been a thing?
