I keep forgetting to open my advent calendar, still not eaten a single chocolate out of it.

Good morning from sunny Manchester.

I've put my iPhone into Apple Store for a battery replacement and I've got to go 3 hours without it. I've never felt so naked, I had to use a card to pay for some food in Aldi, almost forgot how it works. 🤣
