If I hadn't of changed them I would have been locked out!
My personal passwords, however, are changed at my whim.
But you still have to do the "poo bag dangle" though...
Or 'Organic hand warmers' as I prefer to call them 😉

I've been on Linux for over 10 years and haven't used windows since I retired in 2015.

I hadn't thought about that, thank you.

I used to have knitting machine parts with tiny screws and if one dropped it was a problem. Nobody was allowed to move unless on hands and knees with a torch head down and arse up looking for it as tiny screws could travel a surprising distance from dropping point. It must have looked a bit strange to anybody coming into the workshop to see nothing but backsides.
A touch of grease on the end of a finger usually worked to pick the bits up.

Poured rain most of the day but now less wind.
There is a thin skin of snow on the highest Mull top I can see but nothing on Morvern where high tops can be seen in the distance.
I will not attempt the Gaelic name which is about a sentence long.
Had a quick sortie out to get my bin out for tomorrow’s lift.
DIL phoned. Son is doing an extra couple of weeks in Taiwan as a favour for his relief worker to build up brownie points in case he needs to have extra time himself in the future.
Perhaps they think I am getting a bit poorly.

Strike action at Uni tomorrow, both academic and admin unions. Bit pointless as we can't afford the pay demands, like everywhere else. The economy is in tatters. Going to be crossing the pickets as I can't afford to throw away a number of days pay.
My university is doing the same, as they all are this time. I need a break - no time off allowed in semester - so am treating it as three switch-off days. However, I spent part of Saturday doing the work I won't get paid for in preparation for later weeks, which I would have done on Friday.
And yes, I think it'll end up at an agreed 5% raise after a pile of kerfuffle.
Tomorrow I'm off out on the bike, Friday is with son no. 1 and next Wednesday I'm visiting son no. 2 and my dad whilst my mum has her first palliative radiotherapy session.
Note that the last two strikes I either wasn't in the union or sneaked round the picket line when they weren't looking. This time I simply need a few days off.
