well chuffed 😊

Due to mine and my wife’s disabilities , we have decided to apply for a dropped kerb and white H markings and hopefully a better access route to the driveway itself.

In the first instance, i have arranged for an occupational health visitor to assess our needs as there may be chance of having it funded under a disabilities facilities grant ( up to a £30,000 limit) . of course , the funding required should only be around £2,500.

There shouldn’t be any issues , my housing group would have no issues providing theres a hard standing and the paperwork for them is ready once i have all the plans.

but for now , its a case of waiting for our assessment.

…more news as i get it.

They did , but you know , you only live once don’t ya

Ive pulled the trigger on this , the Avata 360.

Due for delivery on 23rd April ( UK Release day ! )

… i already own an Avata , however this shoots in full 360 8K

Rather than explain everything heres a video …

Got a £50 voucher to use up so i treated myself to a new watch ( watch was a lot more but couldnt resist lol ).

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8.

its tied to my Samsung S26 Ultra so its perfect for when i get notifications etc whilst im out without taking my phone everywhere. does all the Ai stuff too so im pretty pleased with it.

I had my patio installed a few years ago to house the summerhouse , garden furniture etc , however i need to extend it for my grandson so i can fit his sandpit and have plenty of play space.

Due to health issues , i cant do it myself , so ive hired a local contractor to complete the work.

So 40 6×6 slabs , sand , cement , mixer and cutter are on order and hopefully work will commence near end of April .

ill pester the wife to order a proper BBQ once its all complete 😉

Having upgraded my phone to the latest flagship model , The S26 Ultra , i needed to upgrade the Tablet so i can transfer files and Ai fluidly.

I opted for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra ( 1TB storage and 16GB ram)

Screen size is just a little under 15″ so quite big but also very thin and light .

As Amazon was having a spring sale , i managed to bag this one for £1,301.00 from £1,599.00 , so a massive saving and also they was running a Samsung Promotion so ill also get a keyboard stand/case worth £299.00 for free.

Its amazing how tech moves on in just a few years.

I needed the latest Ai on my phone as well as everywhere else in the house , so i have this one coming this week.

The new Samsung flagship … The S26 Ultra 512Gb.

its around £1299.00 so ive ordered a protective case and screen saver to be fitted before its even switched on.

There will be a short downtime whist the esim is registered but apparently takes less than a minute to transfer my number from the old phone to the new so ill get the phones to move all my data and settings at the same time.

decided to upgrade my contract at the same time , allowing me to swap out to a new phone every year if i want to . unlimited texts and minutes , 25GB data ( rolled over every month if not fully used ).

cant wait !

Ive decided to purchase a DJI Power 1000 V2. Its a portable power station that supply power to 99% of my household appliances , and also portable enough to take off grid for say , fast charging drone batteries, charging laptops , phones, even boiling the kettle for a quick cuppa….. frankly, anything that i would do at home , yes even running a washing machine or maybe a Ninja cooker.

It recharges to 100% in 55 minutes when using mains electric , however i would charge when my Home solar panels are producing so effectively costing nothing.

It can also charge by its own solar panels when off grid or in power cuts.

Its covered for 5 years , and will easily outlast 10 years with perhaps a 10% loss in charge.

quite a nice bit of kit.
