    I still haven’t been able to get the donations down but packed them into boxes. I’m hoping to shift those next week and get some space back. Melbcat got stressed out by the activity so I stopped and we’re doing phone in bed. Cuddles are required to relax.

    One load of washing is done and I’m doing another. Then there’ll be another basket of folding to do on top of the one already there 😑 The chances aren’t great today.

    Did anyone else take a look at the sky and wonder if Sunday’s promised rain was going to arrive a bit early? Rain on Sunday now at 90% chance.

      There were some ominous looking clouds before but it’s cleared up where I am. My garden needs a drink bad.

      The cool change is so nice though, go away unseasonable warmth.

    I’ve been taking advantage of the windy hot weather to tackle Mt Washmore. I’ve also just made a Bolognese. What else did I do today? Oh yeah I learnt to play Ludo, which turns out to be Miniest’s favourite game. I can see why, I have to admit I kinda of liked it. I’ll have to have another match this evening after dinner.

    This is even worse. Trying to follow guides to pause syncing of OneDrive and nothing is as the guide said. So I poked around more and I now have the choice of pausing it for up to 24 hours or unlinking it completely.

    At this point I feel like Microsoft is expensive spyware but I don’t have the energy to jump through all the hoops to control it or make the switch 😔

      Also In regards to co pilot, you can go into apps>installed apps and go down to Microsoft 365 copilot

      From there you can disable the background tuning of it and turn off the runs at log-in option.

        Cheers! I’ll try. The steps I’ve been seeing in guides haven’t been matching what’s shown on my screen but I’ll give it a go.

          No worries, that photo is from my work laptop with windows 11 so you should be easy to adjust it and turn off or uninstall from there.

        It appears I have been so I gotta try and sort this out in case it prevents me sending or receiving emails and having to pay for more storage -_-

        I’m being bullshitted in circles. At some point I probably should get a huge external drive and manually back everything up onto there. But then there’s the risk of it being lost or broken and losing everything. Not to mention the organisational load of having to sort it all out.

    I treated myself yesterday to a red Shiraz, a cheapie from Aldi, I think it was about 4 bucks.

    Had a glass or two last night, surprisingly it was pretty tasty and no sharp pang afterwards, my preference is a smooth red usually.

    For 4 or 5 bucks a bottle it turned out better than I thought.

    Cleaned out the garage, no sign of dead rodent. I’m guessing it’s somewhere above the ceiling and below the roof and the smell is coming through. Or possibly inside where the roller door spins. So just have to wait it out. Kinda concerning, I hope this isn’t a start of a bigger problem. On the bright side, garage is now clean and tidy!
