Hey @gurgleapps.bsky.social I only opened my Word Clock box today as I was saving it for Christmas. Thank you so much for the personal hand written note and gift I found inside! I love the pcb artwork. Looking forward to building this now. Just sent the case parts to the 3D printer. Merry Christmas!

Coming to terms with my car writing itself off after spending £2000 on repairs last year, followed by my house showing subsidence problems. All put into perspective by my daughter’s unexpected sudden emergency admission into hospital last month. They’re doing OK now with treatment but still a worry.

The degree to which I feel unsettled by world economic events is such that I have felt nauseous all day, making eating difficult. As someone looking at potential retirement in the coming years my financial future outlook has taken such a hit I am not sure I will have the option to stop working.

Great #CamJam today. Loads of great conversations with visitors (grown ups and kids), and with old friends (grown up big kids). On my feet all day so my knees hurt now. I was too busy to take any pictures.
