More computer mucking-about-ery today. Yesterday, repairing someone else’s and advising on upgrades. Today testing out something I learned this morning on my own laptop to see if it will improve anything or is a waste of time. Some far, no improvement.

Well because our pre get into bed hot water bottle sprang a leak and soaked all the bedding , luckily swmbo wasn't burnt by it

Warning when making a 🍵 always add a tea bag otherwise you end up with a pot of plain hot water and then have to start all over again

And don't do what my mother once did. She boiled the kettle and then poured hot water into the sugar bowl instead of her cup. She was chatting to my dad at the time, which proves that not ALL women are good at multi tasking!

Hey! Occasional brain farts are allowed, you know. Us women can't *always* be omnipotent!

I'm guilty of putting the tea bag in the milk jug on the odd occasion.

I've managed to put coffee in the teapot or just plain hot water.

I've put cutlery in the fridge, Try and explain that one.

In my defence, the fridge is on the work surface, directly above the cutlery drawer.

I once managed to empty a tin of beans into a pan on the stove before I noticed that the pan lid was still on 😂

Kept getting a pop up from work IT Systems saying you need to run a security update. It warned that it 'could' take two hours. As it was quiet, I started it at 3pm. It's still going... I'm expecting late evening when it stops.

Ah, the usual massive under-estimation of update times. Think we've all been there at some point...

I am cutting roll cage parts again.

That was unbearable!
I thought I would just go out to my Jag to try to see if I could gauge what temperature was coming out of each cooling vent by slowly raising the passenger side temperature to match that of the driver's side . It is 25C out at the moment so it was bl**dy hot inside my car. I switched on the air con and it was unbearable. The heat coming out of the vent on my side was like I had the heating on full blast. I had to open the windows to cool the car down . It's no wonder I was hot on the drive back on Tuesday. I couldn't do what I intended to do as I couldn't raise the temperature on the passenger's side to try to match. It would seem as though there must be a flap or vent on the driver's side which has jammed open directing heat straight from the heater matrix . Just using the fans brings warm air in .
I will ring the garage tomorrow to see what their answer is .

My wife said she's frozen .
I told her to go and sit in my car and put the air con on !
