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.

Day no.4 without any social interaction apart from Angie...definitely needed this downtime. 🙂

Gobots! 🤖

Been a slow year for collecting these.

Omnibots! 🤖
Nearly finished the domestic UK run. Just need to find an affordable Omnibot-JR & the annoyingly rare Hootbot.

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 😅).

I was promised something 'wild' for new years day...only slightly disappointed. 😑

Last pick-up of 2025. A somewhat play worn Police Robo or Hans Cuff (if you prefer the Tonka pun based names). 😁

Not quite Grandma's sewing tin of disappointment, but close. 😆

Back to work tonight as Christmas fell on my days off this year. 😒

Joys of retail. 🙃

Wet hair & prezzies!...of course she has to have her stuffies to watch too...probably too late to expect her to act mature at 66. 😆

Selfie sticks are awarked & I can't even see without my glasses on...anyway I hope everyone has a brilliant Christmas & new year! ❤️

This turned up randomly on my music feed today. 😁
I'd forgotten about The All Seeing I.

Picking up the last of the fresh for Christmas this morning...I think she means Chinese leaf lettuce, also does she want spring onions or not? 😆

Not the bandwagon jumping sort as a rule, but as it is nearly Christmas. 😁

Old bird table fell apart when I tried to move it. New feeder installed. 😁

Looks like we are not opening early (4am) Christmas eve this year...that'll upset some customers! 😆

Been taking a social media break as it's silly season at work. Got four much needed nights off, so time to get into the seasonal spirit! 😆

Been on a Stacy Q vibe this week. 🎵
Need something to counter the Christmas tunes i'm forced to endure at work & at home (Angie loves this season). 🙄

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. 😮‍💨
