@vikingsversussamurai It seems to have been a divisive version! I haven’t had issues with it, so I must have got lucky.

@Miraz 😂
@vincentritter Good isn't it? Mr. Bsag is a WWII aircraft nut, and he loves it. He has secretly watched the first episode twice now, and I don't think it will be the last time he rewatches. I know that the accuracy is good because we watched Dunkirk together, and I didn't hear the end of the fact that the Spitfires were the wrong model for the time or that the rivets were wrong in the Navy vessels (🤷♀️). Silence on that front during MotA....
@Miraz My eyes grabbed on to 'Oxford' and I immediately thought, wow - Oxford (UK) must have really changed since I lived there! 😀
@Miraz That sounds amazing! I look forward to hearing about your trip.
@ArnoldHoogerwerf 🤣 It’s particularly great when you get one of those amazing chords on the church organ just as you take the work out from the presser foot and find that you lined things up perfectly for once.
@BestofTimes shudders
@BestofTimes Ooo, I haven’t come across that monstrosity yet. How does one pronounce it? Skwep?
@samjc You do adjust to it, but I think everyone has their sweet spot, and for me, 3x5 + 3 is the perfect balance. I can manage with two thumb keys, but prefer 3.
@Alligator Excellent choice! The Sweep is a lovely keyboard, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
@Alligator I am still using a custom split every day, but now I use TOTEM keyboards (wireless and wired) that I made myself. You can read the details in those posts, but I found the cognitive load of dealing with only 18 keys a bit much in the end.
@BestofTimes Glad you’re enjoying it! I found it stayed with me long after reading it.
@Miraz That’s a huge relief! Wish Deb all the best for a good recovery. I’m sure you need rest too. Waiting by a hospital bedside is never easy.
@Miraz They are super cute! I get my bamboo socks from BAM in the UK, but they don’t have patterns like that.
@BestofTimes Twinsies! I did the same a few weeks ago. I was ‘grandfathered in’ to a lower rate, but still, I don’t use it anymore, so no sense in keeping the account.
@cygnoir I’ve heard so many good things about it that I’m really looking forward to reading it.
@rcrackley Certainly was! I have been a fan of his poetry for a while, but I didn’t know much about his life before reading this book.
@cygnoir It’s the first book of hers I’ve read, but I’m waiting for Station Eleven from the library.
@BestofTimes That’s fabulous. I like the bit about the hidden whiskey cabinet in the fitting room!
@BestofTimes <zooms in on interesting sewing machine>
@BestofTimes Love the Er 19/1 and the use of Ye Olde Tippex. Brings back memories. I have a similar set somewhere with my thesis on it, probably cryptically labelled too. Somewhere I even have some 5 1/2” floppies, though goodness knows what’s on those.
@BestofTimes You should see our place - books teetering on every surface! We have been known to to watch period murder mysteries and completely forget about the murder and pause the scene so we can ogle the library shelves 😂
@lostinhaste That’s a shame. I’ve imported a few books through Calibre, but not many.
@mroutley Thanks! The Libby integration seems like magic to me.
@BestofTimes Do you read mostly physical books then? I probably would too if we had more shelf space, but I do enjoy both ways of reading.
