Today I replaced the reverse light bulbs in the car. It was relatively simple, just required two screwdrivers and the new bulbs. Unlike the front headlight bulb which i got my local garage to change. It was a complete faff. I ended up with two bulbs (one slipped into a void and was unreachable).

Watching a lunchtime politics show and despairing. If you put yourself forward to be interviewed, answer the questions, don't argue to push forward your own agenda.

357 miles driven in the car today, round trip to Aintree for an anime convention. I may have purchased another fake sword.

Watched three(!) films this weekend. Re-watched The Prestige, when you know the twists and turns it's fun to go back and see the clues throughout the film; Alien Romulus, a haunted house in space film; and finished with The Pope's Exorcist, which I thoroughly enjoyed - up with this sort of thing!

I keep reading about mistakes that AI keeps making, yet there seems to be such a big push to use AI as a replacement for human decision making. Paying people to make decisions costs money, but that money is generally filtered back into the economy (we spend it!) What does AI do with its money?

A day that started with a cat rudely waking me up at 5am, an hour of taekwondo training starting at 9.30am that involved free sparring, patterns and one-step sparring, and a trip to the supermarket at 11am for steaks and to take advantage of a 25% off offer on 6 bottles of wine.

Wildlife camera didn't pick up any 'intruders' in the garden last night, so I'll stick it back out later and put a bird feeder out. I want the birds back in the garden.

Haircut day! Plus a wander into town to pick up Gilt Frame issue 3. Dark nights, work stress from job evaluation and a strong Wednesday workout have left me a bit knackered so glad to have the extra day off.

Mainly posting on Pay-Tree-On these days (link in bio). Nod Away v3 is very much still in progress, slow as that progress may be. The more support I get the less side work I’ll have to do and the quicker v3 will be done - please, spread the word if you’re up for it. Thanks.

Finished watching 'War of the Worlds' on Disney+. The name of the series might be familiar, but the storyline is very different, especially the third season. Worth watching again. www.disneyplus.com/browse/entit...

Day off work, opportunity to play a bit of Portal Revolution with the child who took control of most of it. Limited assistance was required from the parental unit.

I'd been into town earlier to pick this up from my local comic shop (Travelling Man in Newcastle). Final issue, interesting concept I enjoyed because I've followed Matt Kindt's work since Mind Mgmt.

Rejoice, the bike is fixed and I biked to work this morning through the glorious rain.

John Kent @johnfkent.bsky.social · 10/02/2024

Also, at taekwondo this morning, we were asked to choose an exercise for the class to do as the class finished. I was feeling a little exhausted so suggested "walking at a gentle pace". I think a little extra time to recover before the next exercise was appreciated by my fellow martial artists.

John Kent @johnfkent.bsky.social · 10/02/2024

Has surrendered and booked the bike in for a service this week, I just couldn't get the back wheel properly sorted. If it were the summer, I'd have been happier to spend time in the garden trying to get it right, but winter-bike-repair is best left to professionals.

John Kent @johnfkent.bsky.social · 14/01/2024

Using a bicycle for commuting to work is great. Fixing the bike is a faff though, and having to put a new back wheel on in the freezing cold wasn't fun this morning. It still needs a bit of finesse and the chain needs cleaning so I'll stick to walking in this week and finish the job next weekend.

Back on the bike! Yesterday's commute went well, probably at about 85% respiratory fitness, so I think the martial arts can resume as well tomorrow.

John Kent @johnfkent.bsky.social · 12/11/2023

I'm hoping that taking it easy this week will improve my respiration to allow me to get biking and martial artsing this week. The bike chain has been cleaned and lubricated and is ready to go!

Now I can stop going on about plumbing and the central heating.

John Kent @johnfkent.bsky.social · 03/11/2023

Spent five minutes looking at the hot water tank, pump and diverter switch, shook my head, sighed, gave the white box that the electric cables connections two pats and the central heating burst into life!

John Kent @johnfkent.bsky.social · 03/11/2023

Is not convinced that his central heating is fixed.

Waiting for the plumber. At the slightly anxious level at the moment, more trepidation than worry.

Four years since I was "Decanted to Shieldfield" for three weeks. Moved into an office that was built in the 1960s and had not been modernised at all as far as I could tell. It was heaven. I took photos everyday and made a photo book to celebrate the experience!

Under a blanket, autumn cold making me sniffly and sore of throat. Quite glad that it started yesterday so I've got the full weekend to get over it.

John Kent @johnfkent.bsky.social · 26/10/2023

The plumber has been, diagnosed the issue, ordered the replacement part and will come back next Friday to fit it. Hashtag-plumber-update.

John Kent @johnfkent.bsky.social · 18/10/2023

The plumber did not call back last night. Will be call back today? Fingers are crossed, I will wait patiently and see.

John Kent @johnfkent.bsky.social · 17/10/2023

Got up the nerve to ring the plumber. He's busy all week and will get back to me tonight, hopefully to arrange a repair. Until then, I'll be manually setting the turbines to power and the atomic batteries to speed.

000

John Kent @johnfkent.bsky.social · 16/10/2023

Luckily, I can manually switch the heating on, so we won't suffer from the lack of warmth. Just have to remember to manually switch it back off again...

John Kent @johnfkent.bsky.social · 16/10/2023

The central heating requires the motorised valve being replaced. I can happily change a tap gland, but this valve will be out of my comfort zone. I don't like asking for help, even when I'm paying for it. Too many episodes of That's Life and Watchdog viewed when I was younger...

The car repair fixed the annoying rattle of the broken droplink. The shower was replaced after the low flow light kept coming on and stopping the flow altogether. The isolation switch for the shower was a straightforward swap and advisory assistance from the parental unit was gladly received.
