Funny how for years, Denton has been so insignificant that there aren't even any signs for it on the motorway until a third of a mile away from the turn-off. Now, suddenly, everyone wants to speak to us!

I made another thing with my @pimoroni.com Galactic Unicorn, this time for Christmas.

Produced after several freezes followed by reflashing of firmware and starting programming all over again plus a lot of swearing at Thonny.

But I quite like the result anyway.

Once again, Oxford University Press has shown with its Word of the Year that it needs to check the definition of the word 'word'. (It says 'rage bait' is one word when used as a hyphenated compound phrase, which it never is.)
