3 Good Things - Round 4

Desmond1979

Since the third thread of gratitudes is redacted, I'll create a new one;

1. Managed to get a Sunday Lunch, at a local Spar, while supplies were available.

2. Got Manure, off my Mechanic, for growing Spuds; at his Stable.

3. Listened to a Podcast Interview of a Man who talked about Sticks used in Ireland; back in the days.

  • 1. Freed and Repurposed an old computer (~2012): new OS (Lubuntu), used to watch the fireplace using a LAN stream via VLC. (Though at times the connection drops due to the distance).

    2. Got somewhat obsessed cleaning windows, to the point of hurting myself, but they do look good.

    3. Remote fireplace watch (from upstairs).

    This is my laptop screen, through the terminal, the live fire :-)

    I understand that entirely! You go outside and clean the panes, then when you've cleaned the insides you realize there are still smears on the outside panes. After many trips inside and out in an attempt to rectify, you finally fall exhausted on the sofa - whereupon, I open a bottle of wine by way of relief. I haven't found anything that cleans a pane on the first attempt.
