AirPods bleep follow-up: Apple has acknowledged the “quiet chime”. I briefly wondered whether disabling some nannying hearing protection feature or other would stop them making that sound, but a) it’s not a thing, b) I want my hearing protected thank you, and c) if the sound went away now I’d feel a sense of loss, like an egg without salt.

It still hasn’t snowed here, but the frost does just as good a job of making the landscape look pretty and the ground so satisfyingly crunchy.
The temperature. In theory, I can programme a heating schedule for each heating zone (room), for each half-hour of each day of the week. In practice, that feature of the 4 zone wall mounted pilot wire controller doesn’t work – I think I damaged the delicate electronics last year – and even when it did work I was too thick to programme it, so I manually micromanage the heaters instead. I’m just grateful to be warm, and the display of the controller still serves as a handy digital clock.
