Life
- Back in the UK and noticeable that nights are darker earlier. The mention of my fridge a couple of weeks ago jinxed it. Another technician, another two minutes, and now it needs replacing. I don’t understand how this is efficient for the Hotpoint group of companies. Two visits, two engineers, and two different conclusions. Less than five minutes looking at the device. Previously, I said The ice pattern was the clue and it appears it was just a clue to something completely different than the first engineer said. So a whole new fridge saga commences.
- Monday was pub quiz. Our worst performance by some margin, but it remains all good fun.
- On Wednesday I asked for support from a smart home tech company. Super surprised that their response arrived in less than 24 hours. Seventy-two hours later, I’ve done nothing with their response.
- Train south on Friday night all worked and allowed us to see Shanklin Chine’s ‘Spooktacular’. Just a whole lot of fun.
- Railway works meant a coach back to London. Nice and relaxing. I wish I’d known it stopped in Wandsworth so we could have planned to get off there.
- The Crazy Coqs Osmonds night featured four people who’d all been in the musical. Another lovely way to end an evening.
Media
- Finally, we caught up on the last episode of Lost Boys and Fairies. No shame in the tears.
- Also got around to finishing Bosch (S3). It’s so long since I watched an episode that I’d forgotten the plot lines.
- Heartstopper S3 appears to be as wonderful as the last two. I wish I’d had this series growing up. Or as Jonathan Bailey said, “It’s for every person who is a member of a family who has a member of the LGBT+ community. It helps all of us”.
