@matt I mean the phone is supposed to be about call and messaging and it was terrible at both.

@matt No it was not always bad. I have some old phones as well. Things were better.
The reissued Nokia 3310 was pretty OK IMHO (the UI was not as good as the old ones but passable and typing was fine)
The "Nokia 225 4G" has noticably worse UI than the 3310 reissue but is 4G. Typing is much the same.

@matt All KaiOS phones make me want to kill myself after a while.
So it really does not matter than they have WhatsApp and can upload GPS to Strava because everything else makes me want to tear my hair out.

This is nothing like the intended final configuration. It is lacking a brake and has a wheelset that is too small but I just wanted to quickly put something together for the sake of "trying out" the new frame. I just used the spare parts I had to hand.
Nonetheless since it is rideable I might use it like this for tomorrow's commute, just for fun. ๐

Both of my kids are currently obsessed with #Duolingo. As I sit here I can hear German coming from one room and French from another. ๐

Every day I wait for the "proper winter" to return again, like the good old times

Sometimes when I switch between watches my mind blanks for a sec and I cannot instantly read it.
Doesn't last and shortly after I am fine again. ๐

A nice ride into work today. Initially I did not want to cycle because it is windy and raining and also slushy on the ground.
But once I started, I really loved it and went a long way around to make the commute longer.
On the way I stopped for a donut and also chatted with a nice guy who would like to take up unicycling. In the end I agreed to lend him one to try.
All in all a really nice morning!

Haโฆ I have finally found a potentially valid use for AI images.
I wanted to check my alt text (on the image above) so copied it into Dall-E (via Bing chat) and asked it to generate an image based on what I had written to describe the above.
Ok that is not a unicycleโฆ but yeahโฆ not bad.
Not sure if I am more impressed with the AI or myself. ๐

It actually generated me a selection of four images. Here are the other three. It could not handle the uncycle in any of them but otherwise all pretty good attempts.

I couldn't resist trying a second time. Ok that is a bit of a funky, handlebar uni but I will let it slide. Close enough! ๐

A much more sensible setup for winter cycling, I'm sure you'll all agree.

If you don't have a winter tyre like me, at a push (if you are careful) you can sometimes make do without

In case you get caught out by snow and ice and do not have the correct cycling setup (as was the case for me today).
Some tips, having found myself in this situation numerous times.

Awesome! It looks like perfect #unicycling weather.
The first proper snow is always a highlight of winter commutes.

Sadly I had to use an inappropriate setup as I had some issues with the unicycle I planned to use.
This meant no studded, winter tyre. But since there was no real ice and just light snow cover, it was fine anyway.
Still, it is always a bit of a shame when you do not have your uncycle setup just right for the winter conditions. People might think I am some kind of newb! ๐
