Just had some organic wheat, barley, rye and oats as a cereal and I'm feeling simultaneously righteous and deeply unsatisfied.

I’ve just injected steroids into my arms

Anabolic?

No, just my arms

Was on my computer earlier looking at grid injection and battery backup for PV, while chatting with a friend about manufacturing an automatic transfer switch for going into standalone mode when the grid goes down (changing to local earth, then synching the local AC sine wave to the grid before rejoining). The cheapest of off the shelf solutions costs over €1,000 so we're looking at a partnership to do it ourselves.

Then the grid went down as we were discussing it. The whole area is affected for at least five hours. Need to get that battery backup sorted out..

Some friends are having a joint Burns Night and Chinese New Year party. They’re calling it Chinese Burns Night. I wasn’t going to go but they twisted my arm.

An old friend may be rehearsing a defensive security product pitch with me before the real thing with potential investors.

Do people have any generic investor-style questions for me I could use to make it a bit more realistic?

I am not a fan of swearing. If you can't find a more appropriate word, then you should fuck the fuck off.

A snake forced my great-granddad into joining the South African army.

It was a Boer Conscriptor.

It's apparently my fault for pointing out to my wife that putting last night's woodburner ash into a plastic bag in a plastic bin is possibly dangerous.

Situation now under control, but the bin has new ventilation holes.

It would have been my little brother's birthday tomorrow.

He killed himself 18 months ago, and Mum is consumed by guilt.

There is nothing she can do to change the past, and he was very unwell. Guilt is so self-destructive when grieving. Don't feel guilty.

The final battle will not be between humans and AI, but the weary stragglers mounting one last desperate defence against the hordes of "small round cookers with a fan" cultists, chanting "you must buy an air fryer, it's changed my life" again and again as they inevitably overrun you.

The sky was looking ominous so I asked Siri, “Surely, it’s not going to rain today, is it?”

And she replied, “Yes it is, and don’t call me Shirley.”

That was when I realised I’d left my phone in Airplane mode.

I've taken the battery out of our carbon monoxide detector.

The constant beeping made me feel sick, dizzy and was giving me a headache.
