I think it was Colchester Zoo I was at, and was greeted by fucking wallabies. Poor parent saying "mummy, whats that wallaby doing to the other one". "Look away now!!!!". If it was a roo, I'd probably just shoot myself afterwards

I have a video of fucking tortoises and monkeys painting with their own shit somewhere as well.
Accidentally took wife’s 2x 30mg cocodamol instead of over the counter 2x 5mg cocodamol after dropping a book on my toe and smashing the nail off. Toe no longer hurts but codeine seems to be reducing inhibitions about “buy it now” on eBay. Hmm. Perhaps I should close the laptop and lock it away.
Oh dear, sorry about your toe nail, that going to smart a bit for a few days I know from past experience, surprised after taking 6 times more then you should have that your not asleep ![Indifferent :=\](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/indifferent0023.gif)
With all of that "buy it now" clicking you've probably done another 3 grand in today, at least you'll have something to show for it this time ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif)
I haven't bought a thing yet

. I nearly hit it on a TTi TG215 but there's another one which will end cheaper so at least some level of rational thought going on. Aliexpress is a different matter. Bought a couple of shitty AM radio kits from China to see if I can bodge one of them onto 80m frequency with a few hacks and adding a BFO. Then I realised I did exactly the same thing about two weeks ago. Whoops. At least I'll have a nice supply of little audio transformers, polyvaricons, RF transistors and IFTs. I have taken to just deleting the aliexpress emails when they come in. Blowing £20/month on random shit and deleting the emails means I get surprises regularly between the electricity and gas bills

On that matter, this week's arrivals from Aliexpress are 500x 3mm LEDs (of which I have blown the ass out of at least 30 so far), one boost converter for the T12 (which oscillates like hell which I have fixed but annoying), a whole strip of AD8307 power sensors (as yet untested), 60x 78Lxx voltage regulators (tested - all good!), another two T12 tips (untested but look ok). My new T12 station hasn't arrived yet. This one has the switcher built in.
These are all distractions. I should be fixing the HP54602B and getting my antenna up, but it's too bloody cold to do the latter and the former is being a dick. Starting to think purchasing a dead digital scope was too close to the day job of debugging software.
