    very early breakfast for Ted, who woke me up by walking up and down my body

    he’s been on a diet too, lost so much weight, he must be real hungry to wake me up

    so hugs and half brekkie for the little guy who is not so round anymore 🐈‍⬛

      Miss Meow did much the same, along with head butts and a lot of meow. She is also on a diet, but I don’t think she is losing enough weight. She is already convinced she is starving to death, further reductions will not be taken well. At least she is well fortified for the stress of moving, if she decided to hide for a couple of days and not eat it would probably be good for her.

      Alfie has definitely lost weight and it’s nice because he’s running around the house more, he seems to be feel much better. But the other night after his dinner, he wouldn’t leave us alone, SCREAMING as if we hadn’t fed him. Little beast. To the point boyo was wondering if we’d actually fed him. Alfie is an excellent liar!

          Boyo & I remind Alfie that we do actually talk to each other (a lot) and tell each other when the cat is fed, he shouldn’t bother lying, but wow he tries. Really must post a video of his SCREAMING, it’s quite something!

    Slowly working down the moving checklist. Power & gas connection is organised, and mail redirection done. I need to look at insurance, which is a bit of a nuisance as my current policy ends 3 days before the moving date. Removalist is the next major thing to organise, and then lots of lots of address changes.

    I looked at NBN yesterday, it looks like it has FTTP installed already. That will be good, as I’m looking at getting a Ring doorbell and some security cameras. Money is just flowing from my accounts like water at the moment!

    Countdown: 1 week from key collection. 1 month from final move date.

        Fun fact: I have actually worked as an LCD repair tech. I opened the case up and there’s some suss as shit crap in there - the pressure plates holding the LCD layer to the light panel were not outside the metal plate at the back of the whole shebang, but jammed between them. Which is quite hard to do without opening the case and rescrewing them. So it looks like a very dodgy refurb.

        Everything else works, so it’s just a 22" LCD screen needed…I think I shall hit up a mate and arrange refunds.

    I just opened Excel and the columns now use numbers as well as the rows. Formulas need to be written differently and now row number goes first instead of column.

    What is going on? I feel confused, I feel sick, I’m dizzy, am I smelling toast?

        I usually roll with change, but threw a bit of a tanty when my computer forced that update… until my boss pointed out I could toggle it off. There is nothing positive about that update.

            For anyone who doesn’t have that toggle: you can find classic outlook in the Microsoft store in Windows.

            Hassle your IT person to get it for you if you don’t have access.

                I figured it out. The RC view is better for macros, I opened a spreadsheet that had them and excel decided that’s how all spreadsheets should look. I should be able to switch it back.

        New Outlook isn’t terrible for me because it’s just the web version in its own container. However, you can’t select which keyboard shortcuts you want to use to it’s a no from me.

        But completely changing the way cells are labelled and ordered, now that’s unforgivable.
