What are you doing today?

[DT]

I was upgrading a pre-ordered Series 0 from back in 2015. I got (2) 42mm for the wife and I back then, mine was still lasting all day, but it had become so slow, was so behind on OS updates, it had really lost quite a bit of functionality. The wife has a Series 4, 40mm, I got her new about a year and a half ago, after her S0 got wrecked, she downsized (since the S4 40mm is physically small, but with a slightly larger display than a S0-3 42mm ...), but I continued to plug-along with my S0

Anyway, now it will provide HR for the Peloton iOS app, nothing else, needed, and actually work (seriously, I'd selected workout, 10-15 seconds delay), then another 5-10 seconds delay before I could scroll through the options.

The 44m display is pretty glorious and really digging the always on more than I thought I would.

Plus, I just started my car from my watch ... NERDGASM.

Chatted with Decent Brother again tonight for the best part of an hour to check on how he is; he saw the public health nurse today, and she despatched him to hospital to have his hand treated (lanced and dressed, and examined by the relevant specialists) and another appointment tomorrow morning at 8. a.m. has been arranged as some of the skin and plastic specialists who couldn't see him today want to take a close look at it.

While they are pleased enough with his progress, I'd imagine that he will be required to make a few more visits, one next week, and possibly a further one the following week, before he receives the all clear.

And yes, he is on proper sick leave (not cover sort of work-from-home leave) from his job as a lawyer with the local authority.

Attended an online meeting.

And answered the door to be greeted by the very pleasant sight of a small crate of beer (delivered by the proprietor of a local store plus off licence).

Today I am finalizing my final stats paper and turning it in. Classes over. I’m free for the entire weekend! My last ever classes start on Monday.

I will be very happily playing today with my lovely new Polished Metal Metallic Honda Civic Sport Hatchback that I bought yesterday! It has been fifteen years since I bought a new car so a lot of things have changed in the interim, with many more technical features and functions now -- even though I'm rather techie-minded, this all is rather overwhelming, so I'll be taking the next few days to really get acquainted with my new car and what she does automatically and how I can tweak settings, this and that....

I can tell you what I’m NOT doing today. I’m not watching any television. Why, you ask? Because the little box that houses the modem just went out. Dead as a door nail. (Why do we make comparisons to door nails anyway?) Hopefully someone from AT&T will come tomorrow to replace it. Meanwhile, I’m on iPad internet only. Thank goodness I got my paper turned in this morning!

Had a chat for the best part of an hour with my brother, (who visited the hospital today, so that a doctor, a burns specialist, could examine his hand; his hand is dressed and he has to see them again next week. They said that the healing should take around a month - after all, he suffered second degree burns - but that, as of now, there should be no lasting damage).

So, we discussed the mechanics of showering (he needs to keep the dressing dry).

Good long chat with a friend. mostly football banter. Also remembering some 'fun' stories from when we were young.

Good luck with it. We get our TV through an aerial and the internet. So if one goes down we have the other as a back up. If the power goes out, (it never has yet). We just go hungry, get bored and cold!

This is the first time since we’ve had our internet with AT&T Uverse that it’s gone out. It’s probably been close to ten years now. And it’s not them, it’s the box inside the house. Thank goodness for cell phones And mobile data.

The medics suggested a plastic bag, to keep the dressing on his hand dry.

Watched an outstanding episode - "Fifty Ships" - of the excellent "Foyle's War" Tv series.

Playing with and getting acquainted with my new car and her features and functions.....

Not planned, but I noticed a lot of moss on the block paving by our back door. So out came the Karcher and its all sorted now. Should probably go pick up some sharp sand though to stop it filling up with mud and moss again.

Also enjoying this lunchtimes football. 1-0 up against Man City. Hope we can keep that up!

It’s spa day for the girls! They get so excited and happy during the ride....until they see the parking lot then they are like .

They fall for it every month.

Was waiting for a delivery of coffee that I had ordered on Thursday, as, easier, I received an email informing me that it was "in transit" and "in the system" of the courier.

Well, to my delight, the package arrived a few minutes ago.

I have got to do some laundry today. This staying home all the time and not even getting dressed some days has me all discombobulated. And I do need to get dressed today since the AT&T repair tech will be here this afternoon to replace the dead part so we can get our internet back.
