I've just realised that my computer keyboard doesn't have a euro 💶 symbol. Old school! 😎

AltGr+5 = € here.

 

[MontyVeda]

AltGr+5 does nothing on mine, nor does just Alt+5... but I've just noticed that Ctrl+5 switches to the fifth tab in my browser.

Forecast said heavy rain today but it turned out a nice day until now when it started light rain.
Car back from the garage with a note left on the seat “ needs discs and pads, parts ordered and booked in on 22nd. Will collect that morning”.
Need to start saving up as that will not be cheap.

On antibiotics after tooth extraction but tablets 1 hour before food or 2 hours after. At least it saves me from having snacks and chocolate biscuits which must be good.

Need to be off at crack of dawn for early ferry tomorrow so early to bed tonight but complicated by the pill regime.

Just cleaned Charles ears, he's had a biscuit so normal service is resumed.

I don't like the look of them and think it's criminal how they mess with animals .

I agree. My two cats are British short hair tabblies. (Do not tell Bob, cos he thinks he is a tiger.)

One trip along the A45 completed just the return journey to do later

Oh yes, so it does! AltGr+4 will give you € if you're using an UK keyboard and won't take you to the 4th tab. I use the US International one because it's easy to ácksëss àcçèntz.

I get confused using an English keyboard these days. I keep getting the 'Y' and the 'Z' mixed up. Germans like 'Z''s so it's right in the top centre of the keyboard.

Inside of the car has been cleaned properly due to it containing a large amount of camping detritus etc.
Tomorrow afternoon, once it's stopped raining, I will (probably) clean the outside.

A45 has been traversed
Time to relax

Sunny day until WAH ended. Breezy and increasingly overcast for the ebike to visit, largely on minimum assist if at all, Simply Food (free gift card bananas and crumble topping) and Sainsbury's once again for a bag oranges for 82p.

Oh, the QWERTY AZERTY thing. Biggest challenge to hot desking when PC's were the size of wardrobes and worked at a similar speed. Colleagues from across Europe hot desking and crashing systems with badly spelt passwords and code check.
As for the gormless fat thumbed cousins ..

I only went out for a bike ride, but found myself with time for a quick drink before getting the train home. Then, while drinking that and playing with the ordering app, I found an error that got me fish & chips plus a large bottle of drink for under£7 which was too good to turn down. Which caused me to miss the next train so I had to have another drink while waiting for the one after that.

Just doing my bit while @deptfordmarmoset is incapacitated

I've had to tidy up the study / SWMBO's office because British Gas are coming to do a service on the boiler tomorrow (it was the garage before we converted it). As a result it's tidier and I've cleaned out lots of old packaging and cardboard boxes I was keeping just in case they fitted any large eBay items I've been selling. Except I've not sold large items, but small/medium ones.
