I never thought I would ever say something quite as boring as this, but a car battery charger. With everything going on, I've virtually cut my mileage by 2/3s this year. This means my car battery isn't getting the charge it would and seems to be running low quicker. Plug it in whilst it's still in the car for a few hours and it's fully charged again.

On that note, I also signed up to a new car insurance company called Bymiles. You pay a retainer and then a pence per mile. Signed up about 2 months before lockdown. Without Lockdown I think I would have spent about 60% of all the other quotes, now I think I will spend about 40%

Would recommend them.

Lidl Rice Cooker, honestly an absolute game changer.

Also talking of knives I bought one of these [Link] mostly as a last line of defence to protect myself against bears but also with an eye on doing a bit of hunting out here.

The mountains are calling & I must go.

Tried a rice cooker and didn’t like it. If you wash the hell and starch out of rice before boiling you shouldn’t have a problem.

I saw an ipod touch 7th gen with 128GB on Ebay and snapped it up quick for £160.00.

No more internet music services essentially screwing up and misplacing my stuff, and charging me for it.

And not a phone, magic.

Everything on a small 4 x 2 device simple and so much to learn on it, and loads of space it will take me years to get anywhere near capacity.

Have a £50 Anker bluetooth speaker which sits in the middle of the room connects to anything.

I have two small boys and their PS5 turned up today.
They are very lucky.
