Well, not the post but elder son. Family have converted me to the dark side and supplied me with grandson's old smart phone. Currently going mad setting it up and writing this. Have realized why there's an increase of mental health issues in the young. Their phones are driving them mad.

Yes Mac, this is an 'upgrade' to a much older and hopeless printer. In this case the print head is a module that you can swap in and out with different sized nozzles. It has heater and temp sensor etc built in and I broke the temp sensor in it. The filament got hung up and would not feed causing a blockage which I was trying to clear. I'm annoyed with myself as I know that loose filament tends to tangle itself but I wanted to try it as it was a nice colour.

I've got a replacement head coming next week and might order some with different nozzles off ali-express as they're a lot cheaper.

It is so dry here. I woke up at 3AM, mouth utterly bone dry. The weirdest sensation. Eyes felt like little pills rattling in their sockets, I'd have cried, if I could have formed tears. Immediately went on Amazon and ordered a 6L humidifier. Hope it gets here today.

No matter the strategy, I just can't drink enough water. I get through four litres a day minimum, and piss like a tumbling brook. It is fine in the day, but dessicating at night. Fingers crossed for the claims made by humidifier makers

It's like we don't live in the same world.... I run a de-humidifier every day in my bedroom :)

A cheap new padlock for one of the allotment sheds and a second spare. The last one fell apart. I hate this as a new padlock stands out as much as a big expensive one and says there’s something worth getting into the shed for. We get very little crime or vandalism, but no sense in making myself stand out. I usually have a spare locked into my fence to weather for when it’s required, but forgot I’d given it to a mate and not replaced it - hence the second padlock.

Lidl's, of all places, sold packs of padlocks not long since. They're excellent :)

Today's deliveries were my stitching magazine, embroidery threads and a new router from Lithuania....even with postage it was hundreds of euros cheaper than buying in the UK.

I’m lucky enough to be 5 mins walk to my plot so have no lock on my shed and nothing of worth in there. I figure it’s easier to just allow free access!
