@matigo I'm firmly in the analogue camp, with my Seiko 5. I had a Fitbit for a few years, but I find having to get new batteries for quartz watches irritating, so the Fitbit annoyed me; imagine what an Apple watch would do for me. Although, with my post-Covid balance issues, and living alone, I rather like the fall detection on them. Still, I can't see me deserting my old-style watch any time soon.

@matigo No they won’t - not if you keep a count of the rows you have done. It’s easy! They even have little twisty things to put on needles to make it easy to do, though I tend to tick mine off using pencil & paper.

@variablepulserate Perhaps your handsy hobby should be knitting or crochet, so you can make yourself some nice warm jumpers. Says the knitter/crocheter who has a couple of projects on the go, but who bought a fleecy top (budget Oodie) from Amazon. Just preparing for the winter and avoiding crippling energy bills…
Watching a tv programme with actual adverts. There's one for Pandora which opens with a woman singing "there's a light…" Unfortunately for them, my brain immediately fills in "over at the Frankenstein place".
@matigo I remember that phase well! Luckily I was able to part ways with my employer. 5 years ago at the end of this month!

@matigo You also work full-time+. I don’t - I just walk the dog, play for choirs & church services and generally mess around with music. Plenty of time to indulge my reading habit.

@jussipekonen Well you see, that is impressive. I can only read books in English. I used to be ok with French, but I think I’d struggle now.
I have at least 6 non-fiction books on the go, but I find them hard going at times. Fiction I can finish in a day/overnight.

@matigo I've already read 29 - but then I have plenty of spare time. I aim to get through at least 52 over a year

I'm not sure I like this new Homepod temperature feature…
Still, the aircon has brought the temp down from 30° to this, so I might pop it on a while longer - so noisy though.
