Found the noise. It’s from an old ruggedised ZTE feature phone that I must have switched on by either stepping on it or dropping something on it. Was found half under the portable air conditioner.
This is a seriously ruggedised phone, big chunky 3G device that’s nigh on bombproof.
Something is beeping & booping in another room. The sort of sound you get from something low on charge. But all iOS devices are OK, the two Windows phones are turned off. Just can’t think what it might be.
Super blue blood moon tonight in Australia http://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2018-01-31/blue-blood-moon-total-lunar-eclipse-over-australia/9318544
Idiot. https://au.news.yahoo.com/qld/a/38771828/trailer-blazes-20km-down-bruce-highway/
The report says the trailer had no wheels & was being dragged along the highway.
The last five days have been very hot & very humid. Now it’s 19°C & raining, just after 10 pm. I’ve turned of the A/C in the livingroom and left the couch that’s been my bed the last two nights. Evaporative cooler in a bedroom is all I need now.
Oh dear. Cadbury Creme Egg ice cream is now available.

Left the cool of the loungeroom to prepare lunch. Kitchen floor was very wet. Turned water off at the meter outside after determining the source of the leak. It’s the now unused filter tap supply line, a narrow polyethylene tube.
I cut it away from the sink fitting , bent it in half, crimped the bend which I then held in place with cable ties.
Mixed up some 5-minute set epoxy putty, forced some down the tube & formed a blob of it over the cut end. I let it cure for 10 minutes & turned the water back on.
Pleased to report the repair is holding.

I spotted this cartoon on Mastodon a few hours ago.
