I learnt what the hell Cloudfare was.

I also made a chia seed and almond flour omelette.

Hung fairy lights around my kitchen. They still have last years dust and cobwebs on them though.

Cracked open some M&S peppermint bark which is so much nicer than I was expecting.

How long was it down? I was doing a lap around the neighbourhood.

Washed all the bedding & made up fresh beds while cleaning my kitchen.

I haven't been able to get any work done as both Canva and ChatGPT were down, and Chatty is still misbehaving. So, I'm behind on work.

Already familiar with Cloudflare as I use it for websites. It's normally very reliable. I now know a lot of the internet uses it!

Listed to the calm Christmas podcast and made a list.

I was having a nice little kip on the sofa.

Sourisblanche · 18/11/2025 14:51

Crossed my fingers that my email address and username weren’t being posted somewhere in cyber space like last time ShockWink

Also tried on a dress for a Christmas party.

ProfessorMyrtleLion · 18/11/2025 14:52

Obviously.

Hoovered and watched Below Deck

BringBackCatsEyes · 18/11/2025 14:55

Worried in case it impacts the zoom job interview I have later.
Printed a tonne of stuff out which is better than reading from the screen anyway, but then found my printer has (obviously) run out of black ink so changed the font colour to purple.

It's still got problems!! Some things go up and then go down again!

KitsyWitsy · 18/11/2025 14:56

I've only just got up so looks like I missed it!

Felixinthefactory · 18/11/2025 14:57

Asked if I could stop work for the afternoon as NVD is down. Did not get a positive response.
