Car tyres down a bit, as they do when the weather cools off. (20kPa!) Have a compressor, but no inflator (OK, I do, but I don't have the fittings to mate it to the delivery hose) and had no intention of using the hand pump and separate gauge, so treated myself to this.
Far more easy to read than multi-scale analogue gauge.
I scream internally every time I update stuff through the App Store on iOS. Individual updates are shown as BUTTONS, so actions. Good. Update all is a goddam fucking LINK. So NOT an action. I blame this as the remaining factor in my refractory hypertension (having quit coffee). Ping @zens
Serendipity continues. Yes, this is another Pyhimys album, the one that came before my much-played Mikko, but this one is Pyhimys and SAIMAA, a prog rock band.
Interesting combination? YES.

Ophthalmologist visit today. Caught bus at 0755, so a LONG day for about 15 minutes of appointment. Thankfully we got the Coaster (medium sized bus) rather than the horrible little Hiace. Oh what a feeling. I harvested aubergine, zucchini,button squash by torchlight before I left, so all I have to do is cook once I get home. And feed the horse.

Woken from my nap the unpleasant way, unable to breathe, as my CPAP went off. Unwarned power outage for “essential work,” 3.5 hour restoration time. Someone knocked over a pole? Transformer gone bang? 367 properties out.
We’re OK, so long as we don’t need more than 6.75kW.
Westinghouse, for those into such things.
Essential when all water has to be pumped, and air conditioning is a medical requirement.
Plus we get a cooked dinner.
