I’m changing from phillips hue lighting to govee. There’s a lot more items and a better pricing structure.

At present, I have ambient TV lighting from the rear of the TV , in unison with the govee light bars beneath.

to the left is the govee mood light on the shef unit. All respond to what is being shown on the TV although I have the lamp just running mood lighting at the moment.

I’ll be getting a govee floor lamp in the next few days too so I’ll upload another video soon.

Not me this time , my daughter.

She found this crystals hidden by dronehub.

she loves crystals and collects them so it was the perfect prize !

My daughter had to work yesterday so I was tasked with collecting the Latest iPhone 15 that was pre ordered.

it didn’t arrive at the store til late but I still had a few hours left before close of business.

Happy to report it’s now in her hands , complete with protective case and screen guard.

she’s a happy bunny now !

I’m having the walls on my stairs insulated today as well as the loft boarded.

The guys are doing a great job , it’s a few hours in and plastering is now underway.

should keep the stairway toasty warm over winter 😉

As I am registered as a carer , as well as my annual flu jab , I’m also eligible for a covid booster. This was administered this morning whilst I had my diabetic review.

one in each arm so hopefully I’m covered for a few months at least 😀.

Had my annual diabetic review today.

Ive now been classed lower than pre diabetic and diet controlled. This means I only need to be checked once per year for diabetes. The doctor was extremely pleased with my results however a very small trace of blood was found in my urine sample so a recheck in 2 weeks.

I’ll be having a full blood count in a few weeks for my other issues and I’ll update once I get the results.

Noticed one of the adams family taking a picture of my property earlier. ( not their real names but that’s who they remind me of ).

2 lads mid 20’s had stuck a repulsive card on mine and other properties in the area.

hope you enjoyed your little stunt , I have you on camera and you can be easily identified.

all of you 😉

Since upgrading to a 65″ Smart TV, I missed having the ambient lighting. Rather than using phillips hue , I’ve decided to use the govee setup this time.

rather than just a static colour of my choice, this time it actually matches what’s being shown on the screen . It’s also managed using alexa or Google home so I can just tell it what I need it to do.

Nice bit of kit and a fair bit cheaper than phillips.

My Fibre to the premises install was completed yesterday. Pleased to say all went well, I still have Virgin media till the end of the month so I can enjoy the best of both worlds for now.

I was hoping to do a feature for the Web page but I had other commitments so I only had time to take a few photos.

I’ll keep you updated with how it’s going after my initial bedding in period.

I’ll be using the supplied BT router for a few days whilst the line settles then will connect to my own synology router as it has the latest WiFi 6 for faster wireless speeds.

TV arrived yesterday, I would have posted an update but was busy enjoying the bigger screen lol.

played some playstation 5 games and it looks fantastic, very vibrant.

it virtually set itself up and having alexa built in was a bonus as I can voice control it too.

here’s a pic , don’t let it fool you , it’s massive 😉
