Ok, so the title isn't as fun and alliterative as St Albans Saturday but I wanted to continue the theme started last week.  Yes, in a strange turn of events I went out and met up with friends two weekends in a row!  Funny how I can go literal months without doing anything social and then it all happens at once!

My iPad doesn't charge any more. I checked more than one cable and also my phone and it's definitely the iPad that's at fault. I tried looking up fixes online but nothing worked. I use my tablet all the time so this is nothing short of a catastrophe! Fortunately I had a birthday recently, which included money as a present, so I went online and ( Read more... )

And so November draws to a close. Not much to report on my end. We've spent most of the month in lockdown after all. I did built the Lego Haunted House on my week off work, so that was fun.
