Blog ≫ 2026 ≫ AWS bill is 86p for the month

This blog is quite efficient finance wise. Remember when I was paying seven quid a month for years, for a database I wasn't using? Imagine what this website would cost if anyone was actually reading it though? Joking really, it is the writes that cost the money the way I have this static site set up, not the reads. Read as much as you like it's basically free! It's only costing me about a penny per message to create content like this.

T2 has gone to school, still with a bit of a cough. We definitely had covid. I still have the remains of a cough, nothing like what it was though. T1 is clear and wife never had it. She's doing an exercise class at home online before work, AND she went to the actual gym yesterday before work. She has moved from Dover to Folkestone gym, the same one T1 goes to. Not as good apparently, but better for being much quicker to get to. I have done no exercise for weeks, have barely left the house. Am planning to walk to the Potting Shed after work today, but going to take another week off parkrun I think. Oh then next week I will also miss it because we're off to Robot Wars...

This is a horrific and uncheery story, home invasion in the midlands, family attacked in a crypto robbery. They're calling it a "wrench attack". It's definitely in reference to this XKCD comic:

!XKCD wrench attack

I think about little other than winning the premium bonds or the euromillions, but look, it's not worth it. Stay normal, keep your head down, don't be a target.

Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze, 13 - 20℃.
