USB switcher



Type-C USB3..point..something..gen...whatever... dock



Car cigarette lighter adaptor



Armchair/sofa(ish) bed



Picture frame in an odd size, because qwertee does prints in weird non-standard sizes



Microwave - our previous one was over a decade old and really starting to show its age...



Mattress - old one was way too stiff and absolutely killing my back & shoulders...

 

My first mechanical keyboard... its probably a bit pedestrian compared to more esoteric options, but I love/need the the quick-buttons to switch devices in a jiffy



And two desk mats bundled at no cost for some reason? I'm not complaining.

 

The quick switch buttons are why I still love the MX Keys keyboard

 

Been getting a bit annoying with my Honor phones Desktop experience, too many glitches I have to work around, it is something I use most days and have done for years in conjunction with a portable screen, was always near perfect on Samsung as they can do functional software better than most, no other phone I have tried comes close.

So thought it was time to drop my Honor Magic and pick up a Fold again, but the Fold hardware is so grim compared to what I have, big and heavy, so I have gone down the tablet route, this is new for me, not sure I can make it work the way I want but we will see.

So purchased the 14.6” Tab S10 Ultra, seemed a good deal, same size as my portable screen but should have a properly functional desktop experience again as it is Samsung, seemed a reasonable deal with pen and Keyboard for less than 1k.



If it is good perhaps it may even supplant my laptop as a travel device, though my 16” laptop is 300 grams lighter than the 14.6” tablet and it's add-ons to make a laptop how does that happen

 

Kitchen and house things. Firstly this.



I was tired of stuffing blankets into the creases. It works very well, bit smaller than wanted but it covers up the sofa nice. So I have a single one coming too.



Onto the kitchen.



Then a new one of these.



Joseph & Joseph. It was expensive but I have had their washing up bowl for 8 years and it is still like new. Even with me bleaching it bi weekly.

New ones of these.



And obs.



Then for Christmas at mum's. I get it every year.



And finally.

 

Every two weeks, or twice a week?

 

Every two weeks would be fortnightly no?

 

I’m going to start using the term “bifortnightly”

 

Yeah, you would think so, but biweekly can be a synonym for fortnightly or it can mean twice a week

 

Tweeks. I take the bowl out and scrub the entire sink and plugs etc. Then fill sink with hot water and bleach and let it sit.

 

Pre-ordered yet another Gerry Anderson show tech manual:-

 

Or, Tommy-Two-Ways-Weekly...

 

Twice a week, every week, per every two weeks?

 

Yeah I am none the wiser here I understand what bleaching a sink involves but I still don't get what "tweeks" or bi-weekly means

 

Three and a half daily

 

Tweeks slang for two weeks

another of my autistic inventions.

 

No.

Bi-weekly means twice a week.

I am willing to die on this hill.
