You know the ones?
So far today...
The telly remote has gone up the swannee, various odd buttons have just decided to stop doing anything, so that's probably the keyboard matrix and totally non-fixable. Ordered a replacement.
One of the house DECT landline phones has shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible. (Yes, it is fully charged. No it is not pining for the fjords)
Ordered a replacement.
PSU in a computer went *phut!"
Ordered a replacement.
DAC on the second system decided it didn't like locking to the selected input. Replaced it with a spare (SMSL Sanskrit 6th Anniversary) which, on reflection, I think actually sounds better.
I must say, the 'Chinese' second system sounding pretty good to me - my son was down at the weekend so I finally got the speaker cables run. I just need to plumb in the Pioneer DV-717 for CD duties and it's all systems go. I must say though, it's making a rather good job of playing some Mick Abrahams via the Squeezebox at the moment.
On further positive notes I'm enjoying my first mug of Aeropressed coffee, the cold-brew coffee/tea/fruit infuser thingy I ordered will indeed fit in the fridge door and I managed to remove a link from my "magnetic therapy" bracelet without stabbing myself. I suppose I should be thankful for small mercies.
