We now have brand new double glazing throughout the cottage. We only had single glazing before and the winters were brutal. being in the middle of a conservation area meant retaining the old style using new materials. Now I need to repaint the house.

Top tip: One week before your new phone arrives, change the wallpaper and icon styles to something different. Then, when you get the new phone, it will feel even newer.

My M1 Max MacBook Pro is 5 years old. It runs amazingly well. I also have a 27” iMac which is 11 years old. I use as hub and for music and movies in the studio. As I plan some upgrades I’m mindful that this could be last purchase I make before I retire! 😮
