Life really is beautiful. A friend of mine just informed me that, after years of refusing to do so, they have now begun using the Oxford comma. This is heartwarming proof that people really do have the capacity to change.

So I get home after a long and tiring drive to be greeted with... The tumble dryer isn't working. It won't switch on (it's a touch panel), the light comes on if I open the door so it's getting power. Checked and it's still under warranty till 2028 so it's not my job to fix it. 🤔

Driving down to London, it's a bit wet and windy and there's a few idiots who think speed restrictions don't apply to them.

Took my car for a service today and they sent me a link to a video of the inspection so now I know what it looks like underneath. I suppose they have to try and justify whey they charge so much.

For those of you using @Arduino IDE 2.3.3 and have it getting stuck when updating board files, or when downloading libraries - it's a known issue and is due to the Serial Monitor being open. Close it until all downloads/updates are done and you should be good. #maker #help

Was awakened at 6am with water dripping from the light fitting over our bed. Not a good time to be climbing on the roof to fix it... It's a flat roof and needs replacing, roofer coming on Monday to give estimate but I will have to try and do something in the meantime. Not a good morning 😭

Word of the Day is ‘gwenders’, from old Cornish dialect: a disagreeable tingling in the extremities (or no sensation at all) due to extreme cold.
