Unintended pun: my next eye test is expected sometime in the year 2020.
Re-salvaged a battery-powered floor sweeper. Originally, 1999, it had a Ni-Cd battery pack (4 x sub-C cells) which eventually failed to hold enough charge. This was about 9 years ago, so I replaced the batteries with 1.8 mAh sub-C NiMh cells. These lasted OK until recently, 12 hours ago I rebuilt the battery pack with four 2.3 mAh NiMh cells. The original Ni-Cd charger still works as it's only a trickle-charger.
Briefly visited Twitter, then panicked & ran away, but not before observing this from a friend who is a sensible & sober type: "People need to calm down. The corporations that tell the politicians what to do are still in control. Nothing much will change."
A fellow at the Men's Shed brought in a device his son in England had sent to him. He wanted to see if we could work out what it was. In jest I said it was for pressing hard-bolied eggs so they'd become cubes & easier to slice. Turns out I was right, he even had a cubed egg with him.
There was a young lass from Norway, who hung naked by her toes from a door-way. She called to her beau, "Hey look at this Joe! I think I've found one more way!"
@matigo I thought putting 'x' at the end of 'gateau' pluralised the word. So the 's' is excessive.
When I was a kid people used to cover me in chocolate and cream and put a cherry on my head. Yeah, life was tough in the gateau.
Thought I fixed the dodgy switch on a battery-powered LED bed lamp, but the fix didn't take. I've just finished installing a replacement switch, it's held in place by the remnants of the old switch.
