• Happy Daughter !!

    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 !

  • House Maintenance

    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 😉

  • COVID BOOSTER AND FLU JAB DAY.

    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 😀.

  • Annual Diabetic Review.

    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.

  • weirdo’s about

    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 😉

  • TV Ambient Lights

    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.

  • FTTP INSTALLED.

    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.

  • New TV

    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 😉

  • A Busy Week Ahead !

    Very busy this week.

    I ordered a new tv at the weekend, my old one is showing signs it could fail soon so I’m having a new one before that happens.

    This time I’ve gone for the 65″ rather than a 50″. Alexa enabled as well as Bluetooth and WiFi so all smart options will be available. That’s due for delivery Tuesday.

    Also , full fibre broadband ( FTTP) will be installed at the premises on Thursday. This will entail a new fibre line being fitted from the pole direct to my house. A unit being fitted to the outside was and the fibre fed into the living room to a small fibre box ready to connect directly to my router.

    speeds will be around 900 down and 110 up.

    I’ll keep you updated 🙂
