I do. Today I was given a wooden pallet by a neighbour (the type used by builders for transporting bricks and slates etc) and I converted it into a herb garden a bit like this one. I've not put plants in mine yet because I haven't decided whether in going to paint it or not.
When was the last time you needed to get something repaired? What was wrong with it? 🚘🚲💻
I've been helping a guy in the US fix his synthesizer and the new Digital-to-Analogue converter chip (DAC) that we worked out had failed arrived today. He installed it and it has fixed his synth. Yay 🙂The last thing of my own that I fixed was a little digital timer that I use in the kitchen. When you press one of the buttons the LCD screen goes blank and it resets. It felt like the battery had gone, but a new battery didn't fix it. I took it apart and cleaned all the contracts on the switches and now it's working again.
I learnt in a manual because it allows you to drive an automatic as well, but not the other way around. Also, my mum's car, which I learnt in, was manual. I currently drive an automatic though.
I'm kind, funny, and care more about personality.I can also read 😂
What motivates you
Knowledge and challenge. For the past week I've been helping a guy I don't know on the other side of the Atlantic to mend his broken synthesizer (keyboard). I know a bit about electronics but not all that much about how synthesizers work at the component level. It's been a challenge but between us we've learnt a lot and we have finally figured out exactly which component is broken and he's got one on order. We'll find out soon if our tests, measurements and deductions have been correct.
If I could have salmon and broccoli for dinner every day, I would.
One of my favourite meals too. How do you cook the salmon? I do mine in the oven, wrapped in foil, either with a little bit of sweet chilli sauce spread over the top, or I make my own marinade with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and dill and add a bit of that to the foil parcel.
Literally a big eater.... This year I have been trying to grow huge prize winning carrots. Unfortunately I've been unable to get to the County show that I was going to enter them into, so I'm just going to eat them. This is my first that I picked today. Others should be bigger.
With summer coming to a close, what do you have planned for the autumn? 🍂🗓
Just in September I have 6 gigs booked, 2 theatre visits with possibly a third, and a ticket to watch Prime Minister's Question Time from the House of Commons' public gallery (I applied through my Member of Parliament about 3 years ago).
I'm currently sitting in my garden collecting seeds from my lavender plants. This jar full of dried up flowers has produced about 5000 seeds, just by shaking them.
