Didn’t get the house I really liked. No idea why, I know my references were flawless. Onwards and upwards, it was clearly not meant to be. 🤷🏼
Scooters arriving for test drives on 14 Jan so something to look forward to there at least.
Will shut down pc and do tablet marathon shortly, so so many now!

So doctors have currently told me:
1) Dead within 6-12 years (nice and accurate that one)
2) Never be able to use my left arm again.
So… next? Seriously, I’m bored of this shit. At least the men in the desert trying to kill me had a fucking chance with a bullet or two.

Anyone technically minded have the faintest idea how I can upgrade a 230w power supply for something with more connectors that can support a PCIe (?) when I’ve got only these dimensions to work within?
I think I need a low profile GTX-960 graphics card and definitely need more connectors for that?

Anyway, happier news: tenant referencing has gone through successfully on place in Penzance.
Also a new build in St Erth (available March) which I have sufficient nearby parish connections to, which is now a thing for social housing apparently.
Test drives on 4 scooters sorted for Jan 2025.

FYI I am “not at home” to people who can’t take a flippant comment made as purely a joke in the way it was intended.
Yes this is a “sub-post” (ick) but still.
Jesus H Christ some people really need to reinstate their sense of humour. 🙄

I just had a takeaway which was *too hot* to eat.
I mean the temperature - the chicken tenders were actually too hot to pick up properly.
Have I just stepped into a different universe?!

Some dude wearing Princess Leia earmuffs - maybe headphones? - on my train. Is this a thing now?

I love this new house too much and I am worried I won’t get it. No news is good news and all that, but still. Grumble.

My unlikely latest cause: Get ‘spoons to make mushrooms *or* (something else) an option on their large breakfast.
I’m bored of buying a standard and upgrading the sausage quantity.

On my way into Penzance, got chatting at the station with an absolutely stunningly pretty woman who had moved here from Zimbabwe as a professional carer.
She was reluctant to get off the train at Truro but asked me for my number and then sent a message.
Yes to immigration! 😂😍

A charity has organised for me to have the large (because of my height) personal disability vehicle that I need.
I ended the gofundme thing so anyone who kindly donated will recover their monies.
That is all.

My surgeon always insists I am given a private room to wait in. This is the NHS.
I’m not sure why. Public school? Oxbridge? Forces? Lawyer? Generally at risk of infection? Concerned about my mental health reaction with too many people?
Honesty no idea why but it’s handy for phone calls! 🤷🏼

It’s great that I recently passed the milestone of being “authoritative” on restaurant reviews but I only have written about 10 and the last one was years before the outbreak of Covid 😂
So yaknow, if you see one of my reviews, YMMV!

Morning all, another delightful day of hospital awaits me soon. Patient transport to collect me in a couple of hours.
My only saving grace is that I avoid a tedious meeting about the house I’m living in. One guy not moved in, the girl moved an appointment to avoid it so it’ll be one poor dude. 😂

An American healthcare model is not what we should be looking to replicate. I don’t care if people say “too soon”, I really don’t care, the saying that ‘when the US sneezes, the UK catches a cold’ holds true.
This murder was a direct result of their insurance based system.
Protect the NHS.

Trying to have a text conversation in Welsh but iPhone seems to only understand English is an exercise in torture.
Hydras = autocorrected from Hyfryd which means lovely! I was talking to my mum to try to encourage her to speak more Welsh and my phone basically accused her of being a Medusa! 😂

Lol Amazon is wild sometimes.
I’m looking for a *very* budget desktop computer for writing as I’m sick to death of using laptops.
So on the page of a £110 refurbished bundle it says “Products you may also like” and top of this list is a £2k gaming PC! 😂😂😂
When good algorithms get possessed…!
