I want to say I use cash and defend it. I hate that every transaction is now passing through a US company, taking a slice, when I’m paying a local shop…

But… it’s just so easy to use plastic.

And that’s the point, it’s like saying to anyone with any kind of substance issues to just not use the stuff, it’s so hard to give it up…

Which is why I want to use cash, but, apart from tax-efficient takeaways and car parking… I don’t think I use cash

Yep, this is our 2nd time here… see the comment after your linked post 😉

It’s my Mum’s 80th this week… she’d never been here, wanted to, saw our photos from last time and decided we had to drive her here 😳… well… you can’t say No…

Bit of a family roadtrip, going through Wales to visit Portmeirion and some inlaws.

If anyone’s bad on the way, I’ll leave them there 😉

Last week was terrible with long hours working…

… because this week I’m on holiday 🎉

Few years ago I was working away from home (each week) for 3 months.

An opening for a different (manager) role opened up, working from home. I got the job and now I barely leave the house.

Think I preferred the previous role 🙂

Basically the age-old method of diet and exercise, but I only ate chicken salad and worked out at the gym 3~4 times a week.

No caffiene, sugar, salt, bread, etc… which also meant checking the ingredients and skipping pre-packed (ie flavoured) meat with things in, etc.

So, the right idea, but just too intense. And of course, it didn’t last.

Even now, eating chicken (and other meat alternatives) salad wraps, but with coffee, etc, I can’t get anywhere near my ideal weight. But, my current job is long days of hardly moving, so it’s the physical part I’m missing.

Looking good.

I’ve just got in after a beach-themed party and could eat a few of those now.

I like a nice flat hot plate to cook on, can get a few spices mixed up with some potatoes and peppers on there, mixed in with whatever other flavours are there.

Man, I’m hungry now…

Big respect.

To get to 12stone, I’d have to lose both arms and legs.

I got down to 13~14 a few years ago, but it was too fast (I think) as photos of me back then looked like I’d had a vacuum cleaner connected to me and I looked all gaunt… but I do recall actually feeling light…

We’re talking about supermarket checkouts? I don’t think anyone’s bagged anything for me… maybe once or twice ever…

I’m absolutely happy to do it myself, eggs first tins on top…

And as for leaning and pulling large packs of beer across the scanner whilst sat down, nope, I wouldn’t want to do that all day.

1 year already 😳

🤭

You know… with the state of cybersecurity at the moment, I am not surprised at all.

Due to a calendar issue we’d organised my partner’s parents to stay AND I was going to visit mine… needless to say, I didn’t cancel my booking

So, I spent 2 days catching up, came home AND had a day chillaxing at home… absolute bargain 🕺🏻🎉

when both are available it’s hard to decide.

It’s easy to decide: AUR (only)

Personally, I use pacman for as much as I can, then dip into yay for anything else.

So… I don’t see anything about .pacnew there.

Or reinstalling grub after updates

Or folder permission changes

Or…

Yeah, I’ve got to go with this response too.

I moved into a house with a plastic shed and it was literally snapping in all the corners, things inside were rusting due to the condensation, etc.

Honestly, go with the wood.

10 days of work in 8…

Kinda forgot that Easter’s a bit more than a normal Bank Holiday weekend, so nipped down to B&Q, wondered why the carpark was so empty, walked up to the door… ah… closed.

Ok, I’ll nip over to Tesco’s… ah… closed…

Apart from that… no rain today! 🎉🥳

And… yours?

Finished building my “built-in” 3x Ikea Pax wardrobes…

Put the bed back in the room… the drawers open most of the way, but not fully… ffs.

Apart from thst, got out of the (home) office to see some colleagues at a customer’s site… I miss the days when I was doing that job…

So, all in all, a little bit down… but, hey, the clocks went forwards which means summer’s on it’s way

And how did yours go?

Was wondering the same.

My firefox, vivaldi, zen and tor browsers all appear to be getting updates.

Not sure exactly how often as I only really monitor pacman / yay’s output for for .pacnew files, folder permission changes and the odd note to re-install grub…

👆🏻 This is a key point.

No-one should rely on a single source; neither geographical location nor type of energy.

Europe is sharing both gas and electricity amongst countries, but also needs to generate more and use less.
