    Morning all
    Electricity went off yesterday afternoon and only came back on at midnight. Spent most of the evening lying on a swing bed in the garden watching the Perseids and took a few photos of the supermoon (shared on other social channels)

    CBS, etc, another hot one today.

          Turns out it's not me - it's a Microsoft screw up....

          Link posted here so I can find it later (when it's fixable)..

            This morning's washing was duly dried when I went to check on it so that's been brought in before the sun bleaches it.

            Am now going to strip the bed and wash all that.

            A ciabatta roll has been baked. Maybe I'll remember to put a filling in it and eat it before 4pm today

                Bed stripped and load #1 is in the WM.

                Lunch eaten - the roll was filled with brie and tomato.

                  NickFitz I might have one for your MLFTB - I don't have the answer, but I do have the question:
                  Where can I find out the age of my old electrical devices?

                  I was drilling a hole earlier (on mute during a Teams meeting) when I realised the box for my B&D KD462A needed taping up again. Which made me think... how old is my faithful electric drill?
                  I'm guessing it's late 1990s, but is there a website that will give you the date a product was launched?

                    What you want is some site where you put in the serial number and it tells you when your exact model was built, and in which factory (if the manufacturer had multiple).

                      Exactly. Proper Track & Trace.

                      I have access to systems for pharma/med products that do it, but it was more for the things that you know you have had for a long time, but wonder how long.
