Apparently we're doing introductions over here, what with the mass exodus of the other place.
So, hi! I'm Amelie, a French-British software engineer based in the UK. I tend to post about whatever is holding my interest at any given time only to abandon it a few months later.

Out of office on, presents wrapped, chores for the day done... I think it's time to start feeling festive!

I tied my shoelaces together once (as in: tied each shoe to the other) and tucked my arms into my top because I thought it would be fun to jump around everywhere.
It was not. I fell over and almost broke my jaw from faceplanting the floor.
I have no idea why I did not consider that a possibility.

What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done? I don’t mean “cheating on your partner” stupid, I mean stupid stupid. Like, once, I had this bubble bath which smelled absolutely delicious, so I took a big glug of it. That kind of stupid. (It did not taste delicious.)

PSA: never, ever get any building work done. Ever. No matter how minor it is, you *will* miss some tiny piece of paperwork and be threatened with all sorts because of it.
And no, your insurance won't cover it.
Gahhhhh

Been watching retro PC build videos and now I really want to build a retro PC from old parts I have lying around.
...then I realised I already have 3 old PCs in my loft that aren't being used because I have little use for a retro PC.
Hmm.

Pros of speccing out a new gaming PC*: omg all the shiny things! 😍😍😍
Cons: having to walk that back and go for the boring options because the shiny stuff isn't in budget
(*not for me. I don't game, but I like building stuff)

Really not a fan of having major work in my house done. Necessary, sure, but there is so much that is Not Right in while entire rooms are cleared for renovation and I do not like it ☹️

As always at this time of year, there’s some Americans/Australians/other people from generally hotter climates finding it amusing that anything above 25°C/77°F is considered very hot in the UK.
“Just get an AC if it’s bothering you that much!” They say.
Not that simple or easy.

I worked at a shop local to Kerry Katona (UK pop singer and socialite in the 2000s). Walked out onto the shop floor to get to my position, saw her at the til. Didn't realise the place had actually closed for her to do her shopping in private. She didn't notice but the managers weren't pleased.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

You know when you have to do stuff but there's a cat on your lap so you absolutely cannot do a single thing?
Yeah, that
