Monday. 15th. Woke up around dentist time and only got less than an hours more sleep between 5-6. Sigh. Trying to get stuff done in between distractions and having to play mediator (sooo not in my job description!!!). Culled some more people photos from the cruise then uploaded them to Dropbox for people to grab.
Tuesday. Slept ok, although woke up a bit after 5. Meh day, don't really even know what I did. Made a slow cooker apricot chicken dish which was quite nice. Photo culling and Lego Grandmasters, nothing very exciting this 16 May.
Wednesday. Slept ok I think. Nothing exciting at work. FFS Windows 11 sux donkey balls. If you open a .txt file (or anything that opens in a browser) it'll open on whichever desktop it feels like. Even if you haven't even been using that desktop for anything lately. And I found a new bug ("feature") of Notepad. If you have two large text files open and you're at the bottom of them both, if you then switch between them you won't actually stay at the bottom of the files, you'll be taken to somewhere random in the file and have to scroll or control-end to get to the bottom again. Or another one - if you search for some text in a file and it takes you to that text, if you then close the search box you'll be taken to some random point in the file, not where you actually just were with the found text. So hopeless. Seriously considering uninstalling "new" Notepad and just going back to the good old Notepad that's like thirty years old and still works perfectly fine as designed thankyouverymuch.
Thursday. Took ages to get to sleep but then slept ok. Quietish day, quiet drinks, pizza, Mandalorian, Lego.
Friday. Slept ok. Ok day I guess. Dropped off the car for service in the morning. They reckoned it'd probably be ready by 14:00. Had Kingsleys for lunch!! First time there since November 21. At 16:00 I went to get the car. Oh, it's not ready yet, it's still over at Bob Jane. WTF?? Still, but the time he'd spent like ten minutes sorting out all the paperwork they'd actually finished so I went and got it, came home then headed to the coast, but I'll save that for another post.
Sunday. Got home and then had to do all my weekend todos in just a few hours. As much as I like going away for weekends I also hate going away for weekends because it chews up so much of my down time. I only had time for some essentials of cleaning and photos/blogging. The only fun I had was doing a section of the Titanic. No time for music or any other projects or hobbies. I was going to vacuum the ensuite but came across the next problem with the Dodgy Dyson. This time when I pulled the trigger nothing happened. And I noticed a red flashing light on the battery pack. 32 red flashes before it stops. Fricken great. It worked just fine on Friday. Now nothing. I found one page which suggested a "reset" of the battery, but that didn't work. Dyson is seriously Dodgy. Sigh. Basa bake in the oven for dinner.
