Oh the joy of owning a #Samsung fridge freezer that has a so badly designed ice maker that freezes up and stops producing ice several times a year.

Had enough #Kobo users? Want to join the resistance? Then just download the Calibri font from online-fonts.com/fonts/calibri and using your computer unzip the file and extract the *.ttf files to the fonts directory on your e-reader. #MAGA will hate you for using an easy to read typeface.

Attention all Kobe e-reader users. It had come to our attention that lots of ebooks come with woke / DEI fonts. We must use Times New Roman. Do not panic if you don't find it installed, simply download it and side load it to the Kobo fonts directory.

I just finished reading it too. Enjoyed it very much. One thing grated on my nerves every time I read it, I do hope Áróra now has an appropriate bumper sticker on her car.

As it was a warmish afternoon, I thought I'd go for a bike ride and see how wind mills were getting on. Still not spinning around yet it turned out. But notice the absence of NIMBYS around. Each one of these will bring in $30k for the land owner per annum so I am told. Wish I had room in my yard.

I used a few idle moments to put together this gorgeous embroidered axolotl themed cushion on my Bernina B 790. If anyone is interested I can make the pattern available for download 🤣

The water temperature is down to a chilly 6°C in my luxury plunge pool today. It sure made my heart rate go up when I jumped in.
