We're looking at spring weather here, although I'm sure it's an illusion

My kid made me forget the number I was about to type and I'm too lazy to go back to the previous screen to look it up. Happy Sunday! 941 809 well that's honest! Happy Monday!

Every Sunday, I take a YouTube video of our church service, edit the sermon and upload a sound version to our church website. It usually takes me about 45 minutes. Yesterday, persistent bandwidth problems meant that there were over 1,000 gaps in the recording, each typically 0.1 seconds long. It can be corrected, by selecting each gap and the surrounding noise and deleting it. However, it is very longwinded and there are so many gaps, I reckon it will take three to four hours to correct the fault... assuming my hand doesn't drop off in the process.

That sounds exhausting. It if were my church, the Rector would say to just leave it and don't bother with the upload...

I can choose what to do. If I decide to just leave it, no one will mind.
On a different note, Happy Birthday to Girl.

941805 Wow, thanks for remembering! She had a lovely day with lots of presents and singing. And I had a lovely day because of that as well.

Half an hour ago, I found that our water pressure was very low. So I filled up a spare water bottle and the kettle before it ran out completely. Then I rang a neighbour to see if his water pressure was also low but his number was engaged. So I checked with the water company's website only to be told "Good News - we are not aware of any issues in your area." That's not good news at all! If the problem only affects our house, we might be landed with a bill for several hundred pounds!
Feeling a bit jaded, I went upstairs to go to bed (I've gone down with some dreaded disease). As I closed the bedroom curtains, I noticed a workman outside a house up the road turning the handle of a stop cock. Water was gushing out down the road. "Aha!" I thought, "I might have just found the problem."
Sometimes it's best to observe the local situation instead of relying on a web site.

Hope everyone is OK. I have a bit of a cold but will probably survive.

941 800 I'm good too. Builders should be done in a week and a half and then we can start doing up the house again. Cleaning, painting, reorganising, etc.

I am bereft. Our microwave has died. Heating up frozen pellets of mashed potato in a saucepan is rather difficult.
(Please don't suggest cooking from scratch, I do not enjoy inflicting myself with pain.)

I honestly don't know how I'd survive without my microwave. Hands down, it's the appliance I use the most

I'm thinking of buying a microwave with a grill. Does anyone know if they work (are effective and useful)?

I went crazy and got a new mint green velvet living room set and smart TV yesterday. I needed to feel better myself.

941-792 I'm not sure mint green would have been my choice for a shade of green, but a new living room set is nice. And you totally deserve to treat yourself!

941788 We have a steam oven combi in our new kitchen. All the salesmen were lyrical about it and swore that once you got used to it you'd do away your microwave in a heartbeat. I haven't really tried it yet, but I'm not that convinced so far.

Curiously, my Fitbit tells me my heart has the same cardiac health of an average 25-year-old, which is strange because I started taking medication for angina two months ago.

Malfunction? Misread? I often wonder how accurate those things are. My biggest thing of any day is weighing myself.

94178? I looked it up once. Digital scales and measuring your heart rate have been researched on their accuracy and most of them are pretty spot on depending on factors like is your watch secured tight enough and in the right place. Blood pressure measurements are not that accurate in most cases though.
