Guess who taught herself to solder from YouTube and has soldered her very first project? Quite proud 😊

Bella is keeping my trackpad warm. She kindly left me a small corner to work with.
I should really take my keycaps off more often: good lord there was a lot of cat hair lurking under there. I know some people fit o-rings to damp the sound of keys, but the sumptuous bed of cat hair under each cap was doing a similar job for free!
On a whim, I bought some Gateron Clear key switches (linear, 35 g) and installed them on the main alphanumeric keys of my Ergodox EZ yesterday. I love them already: very smooth and light, and they make typing feel much more serene.
It took me so long to write that last post stenographically (and I dropped back to qwerty for the links). I’m at about 3 WPM in normal usage, with a lot of looking up, but it’s mesmerising when whole words pop out when you mash several keys together!
I’m having fun trying stenography, using Plover and a layer on the Ergodox EZ. It is a bit brain bending, but great fun!
New post: Ginger jeans 4.
In which I make my fourth pair of Gingers on my new Pfaff sewing machine, and manage to pull the slider off the zip (again).
Finished reading: Underland by Robert Macfarlane 📚. So lyrical and curiously moving in places. I don’t read much non-fiction, but this was a page-turner.
Getting there. The complicated bits are done. 🧵
Ah, Sunday morning. Chopin nocturnes on the speakers and a new pair of Ginger jeans under the needle of my new (to me) Pfaff. Bliss. 🧵
