Tell you what it's making me focus on the work, specifically any errors and alerting, knowing that I might get a call to fix it in the middle of the night. It's pretty unlikely, I think I'm more likely to get a call by mistake than because of a real problem in our area. Still, a 3am call by mistake is still going to wake me up the same as a 3am call on purpose.
Very quiet day yesterday, the boys and I stayed in, Clare was working. We did not achieve much, but they did do some school work. They are clear of covid now, I think, they have tested negative two days in a row and gone back to school. One of the tests is now showing a faint positive line, having left it out on the table for five hours, but I hope that is OK. If I'd thrown it away after half an hour I'd not have known.
One good thing at the weekend, I think I fixed our tumble dryer. It had started taking longer and longer to dry, and then Clare remembered you're supposed to clean it out occasionally. Obviously we clean the fluff off the filter each time, it's not that. It's a condensing tumble dryer, so it has a kind of radiator inside it that the moisture condenses on and then drips into a tank. That radiator thing had got fluffed up, maybe the moisture could not get to it? I hosed it out, and now the machine is working fine. I was certain I was going to need a new one.
New chair arriving in only four days, looking forward to that!
