Our second hand dishwasher left the chat last week. Bought the first new bargain unit we found in a hurry. Turns out it’s wifi enabled and washes when cheap electricity is available. I was asked to name it by the app. I’ve exchanged more txts with Malcolm than my kids 😂

What not to wear? I’m returning to the corporate world. Noticed many gentlemen choose to wear a suit. I need a new whistle, but where to go in🇩🇪 ? Most places are gone/online is a no-no as it’s a try on item. Last suit I bought was 20 years ago in London. Bonn/Frankfurt recommendations..?

Possibly the best packaged music album I’ve seen in decades. Lose Yourself is a mix of 160-page fashion magazine, mood book and visual art concept #kissoflife

Sometimes vegging in front of the tv is the only option. Snow on the way so hunkered down. Also end of our street is an EV charger. Volts flowing since installed Thursday. ICE transition a step closer!
