30th July, 2023: Nichelle.
You know, Friday was a stressful day.
Friday just gone, I should add.
I had a new set of utility meters put in.
Not something I found easy: but there you go.
At any rate … ?
I was due a delivery from a third party seller on Amazon, the same day: a tub of Marmite, so you know.
The seller’s are called (Daily Essentials), so you know.
The Marmite hasn’t turned up.
I was annoyed enough to contact the seller and complain.
According to them, the currier — their spelling — had successfully delivered it.
And that I should check with my family and neighbours.
I live on my own: and the neighbours had nothing.
The tub?
Is still listed as ‘running late’ on Amazon, I should add.
The sooner the tub turns up?
The happier I’ll be.

Oh, talking of the new meters?
And the spiffing new In Home Display that goes with them … ?
It’s got traffic lights on it.
Or, at least, a green, orange and red light.
As far as I can tell … ?
These are supposed to change: when your gas — or electricity — usage goes up and down.
That’s handy: I’ve already worked out which of my appliances — the washing machine’s fairly low energy, as is the iMac, but the spare desktop, and the oven, are hogs! — are good or bad.
OK, the traffic lights are a simplistic way of measuring these things.
But that — and the rough price guide it shows — are handy.

One last thing, before I move on … ?
I’ve finally managed to finish my reviews of “Under the Cloak of War”, the most recent episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds.
This second season is very strong.
But?
This episode is very strong!
Check it out!
