Well, I've never had a cold like this before. The cold symptoms are fairly mild but, I normally have a slight temperature...not with this one.
I cannot get warm.
No fever or chills, just feels like I can't get me body temp up.
So if I am zombie patient zero I can only apologise in advance.🧟

Yep...saw this coming once Reform got in. ☹️ Even the Tory led council gave out the grant for the last two events.

Electron update. Thought I'd try reflowing the solder before replacing the switch on the dead 'R' key. Luckily that worked & we are fully functional again! 😁

Keyboard swapped...lovely & responsive except for the 'R' key which is totally dead. 😟
I'll take another look at it tomorrow.

Gave that cheap untested Electron a try before removing the keyboard...it's not a happy customer! (I'm not really surprised). 😑

Just ordered an 'untested' 😬Electron from ebay so I can hopefully get the keyboard on mine working again. Worth the risk for £30...probably.

Unexpected week off as I need to use up holiday time! 😁
Might be time to tackle the disaster that the spare room has become (this is the 'good' side 😅).

Corgi restoration no.2. Well...this turned into a bit of a mess (still learning)! The blue is a shade or so too dark, I got some bleedthrough thanks to using the wrong type of masking tape, & I totally messed up the water-slide for the licence plate...I will revisit this...eventually. 😮💨
