I’ve been going through boxes of paper and other stuff from my old box room – formerly my old WFH office.
So… sorting through papers both loose on the bookshelves and in boxes, dated between 2014 and 2019, with some as far back as 2008.

So my new Robovac can cope with my rugs. It is a Eufy Clean G40+
That’s one of the good points. The Eufy Clean app is nice and clean, and the unexpected Alexa (and Google, apparently) integration is neat.
My first test didn’t start off impressing me, though.
After playing around a while, I have got my two Wordpress blogs – Filklore (general blogging) and Food Adventure (cooking and gardening) – posting to Mastodon, via ActivityPub.
I seem to have ordered a new toy. I have dabbled in astronomy before, and even a little astrophotography. I have a decent 4.5″ Orion telescope in the garage, that I keep planning to get out and see if the mirror has survived.
Or “What I Have (Not) Done In The Last Year”.
It doesn’t really seem that long since I retired, but it was back in February 2022.
During lockdown, I was using online shopping and grocery delivery, like many others. I started using both Morrisons and Ocado, but eventually settled on Ocado, as I like the M&S stuff they do.
I’ve been posting a bit about power stations, particularly the Ecoflow brand, so I thought I’d add this nugget of info about their X-Boost feature.
I’ve been looking at Power Stations. By that, I don’t mean Battersea or Hinckley Point. I mean the battery backed boxes that can power mains kit when there is no mains electricity available.
Of course, now Mastodon is the place to be, And many of those that I followed have now appeared there. Which makes it more interesting to me.
I retired in mid-February, so thought I would post how things are going.
The first couple of months of retirement saw me not doing that much at all – it was very easy to just laze about and not get around to getting things done. A lot of cooking and eating, TV and reading – particularly reading; I got through a couple of novels a week and made a good dent into my to-read list.
I’ve just received my 4th and 5th pair of Zeba shoes. That this excites me tells you something about me.
I bought my first pair, which were light beige, in late 2019. After I had worn them for a month, I was so happy with them, I ordered two more pairs, another of the same, and a blue pair, suitable for wearing with jeans.
