Nice place he has there!
There isn't room to turn a bike in my back yard so I would only be able to ride 3 metres before stopping. Hard to get fit doing that...

I've been trying to master the skill of getting into those bomb-proof plastic blister packs. My replacement USB mouse came in one yesterday. I could see the USB cord at the bottom of the pack, and the mouse in the middle, so I attacked the top with scissors...…………...and sliced through the cord that was secretly wrapped round the back of the pack.
Here's a couple of piccies of the replacement that I got today. I'm plucking up courage to try again.

I needed to get a C2032 battery out of a Duracell pack the other day. I managed it in under 3 minutes. I normally end up swearing for longer than that.

That kind of speed usually comes at the cost of an amputated fingertip.

Ha ha!
Funnily enough, I have recently started using a USB mouse on this laptop. The left button seems to be getting a bit iffy because I kept accidentally doing double clicks instead of single clicks. I was thinking that I would have to buy a new one, but discovered that adjusting the double click speed on the mouse control panel was enough to filter out the spurious second clicks.

I didn't want to risk messing up the back of my hair so I've just been trimming the sides. I have now reinvented the mullet.

I have been having a couple of Zoom meetings with my daughter and baby granddaughter in London during the lockdown, and It's a constant battle trying to keep the attention of the toddler so I have just made this sock-puppet by following a YouTube video.
