Just spent an hour or so in the garden, phaffing around doing stuff. Most enjoyable but neede a shower afterwards to cool down 😰

Just found this on a thread "elsewhere" complaining about how hard it can be for a newbie to work out what charger they need at public charging points

in other words - just because you designed it and reckon you can do it easily

does not been everyone else can


reminds me of the AgeUK clients I have that are totally confused by "just download the App" type messages

and - the Gazebo/ballroom we have just put up where the instructions were clearly made by someone who had done it several times and knew exactly how it all goes
so looked at his instructions and thought "Yup that's all clear and obvious"

rather than ask a total newbie who has never seen it before to try it

which is why my wife's son has been round helping me change some of the panels so they are on differently and are less likely to leak!

I used to write training documents, risk assessments, route directions & store/depot assessments for HGV's.
My aim was to assume zero knowledge (apart from the fact that the drivers knew how to drive a truck) of the task. Routes would start with 'Turn left (or right) out of the gate'.

I have just spent some time on Facebook and X and it's so sad the amount of people
asking for prayers to help them through serious illness and life threatening conditions

Serious question.
Why do you/anyone go on X ?
Ive never been on it so I really have no idea.

Google - People go on X (formerly Twitter) primarily for real-time breaking news, niche community discussions, and established digital networks that are difficult to replicate elsewhere. Despite controversies, many users find value in the platform's speed and direct access to public figures.

As above.

If I was that desperate, I'd ask for actual help.

Good grief. I didn't realise I was AWOL for four days. It's been busy with one thing and another. Meetings about this, that and the other, riding, Rovers at home, and today perched up a ladder painting our stairs........now at 72 that's scary stuff. 🤣

My lad and I were very happy bunnies on Saturday afternoon. Yeah!

I better do some reading.
