We have no power because of solar being connected. I can make coffee on the gas hob though :cuppa:
 
Warm and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard, with a light breeze.

I slept really well, and have had a gentle morning puttering around catching up with various things that needed doing. That included re-jigging the fridges in the kitchen and utility room, looking up my favourite method for cooking gammon in a well-thumbed Hairy Bikers book, doing a bit of writing and finishing off the roof rails for the Higman.

The new rails fit perfectly, and I've now trimmed the pieces for the front of the rollcage to fit - I've ditched the plastic stuff and made replacements out of card and rolled paper. Now that I've done that, I can make the remaining pieces for the top of the rollcage and bond them to the roof rails.

An afternoon of lumberjilling is on the agenda.

It is almost time for luncheon.
 
I have a Motorola G50 so it won't be exactly the same (though still at the cheap end of Moto phones) but I've never had a GPS problem with it when using mapping apps*. The Google Pay/NFC thing is very convenient. In fact, in the wrong hands, it could be too convenient....

*I have had the occasional ''low accuracy'' warning when using Google maps but there's a wave the phone about in a figure of 8 procedure to reset it. When I've done that it's only changed location by a handful of metres.

Appreciate the insight :okay:

I get that about Google Pay - if someone swipes your phone, you're in the doodoo. But it would be nice to have the option, although I probably won't set it up unless I really need it, as I've usually got cash on my anyways.

If I open the lid on the moka pot at the wrong time it might as well have been made on the hob 😂

Like the time I stewed apples in a pressure cooker and unwisely took the weight off the lid too early. Nothing landed on the hob but the contents spread across the kitchen ceiling.:blush:
 
Lovely luncheon of a wholemeal bap filled with corned beef & chutney, a couple of crackers with St Agur cheese, a banana, some blueberries and the obligatory two :cuppa:

The corned beef, cheese and blueberries have all been cleared up, so I can crack open a few new things tomorrow. It's very satisfying to get to the bottom of something before it has developed language skills. :angel:
 
Oh, I forgot to mention that the Motorola g31 has fingerprint recognition on the power switch, so that's useful. Although the reviews say it's a bit of a PITA for left-handers...

Hey ho, that's all in a day's work, being a leftie. :blush:

Part of our job is making appliances/adaptations/templates and/or training people so they can be part of the organisation. I always like it when I have someone left handed because it makes it more interesting, as I then have to adapt to them and it generally results in all kinds of interesting conversations.

Actually, I think the Google Pay thing is now done via Google Wallet. One thing I've managed to do is add my mother's debit card to my wallet which saves having to bounce cash around afterwards after getting stuff in for her.
