Upgraded my Tesco mobile deal so I can run my laptop from the phone's 5G after tomorrow when my BT home broadband contract ends. Whether it will end is debateable. I instructed them by phone to terminate my account at the expiry of my contract (should be expiration, but fuck it...). They confirmed it by email - which I've saved as a document - just in case.
A day later they sent another email telling me my contract was about to expire and I could either sign up to a renewed deal at £35 a month for another two years or do nothing and my service would continue (at £40 a month).
I fully expect my service to continue tomorrow and when I log on to what should be a defunct BT account I will find I've been signed up, against my express wishes, to £40 a month for the next two years. At which point my direct debit will be cancelled and a copy of the cancellation email will be sent to BT's complaints department in the post with a covering letter informing them that my case has been passed to Trading standards with a copy to the Communications Ombudsman.

We shall see. My new Tesco Mobile contract is SIM-only at £14 a month, fixed for the whole the two years with 100G of 5G data - which is vastly more than I will ever use.
Looked at Starlink but as far as I can see they want £299 up front for the dish and then £40 a month, so they can fuck off as well. What internet access I can't get from my phone at £14 a month I don't need. A first step in de-digitalising my life.
 
Doing a bit more on me paving slab. This working with clay is harder than i thought it would be.. im a bit gunho ( is that the expression? ) with stuff and rip into it. I do afairbit of research till i either dont understand or get bored. Usually itsget bored so i just get on with it.
Anyhu, i tweaked the design a lil and am cracking on .
Unfortunately my clay biscuit came out bigger than intended so i should have upscaled the moon bur haven't.. more room for background shit maybe..

$1200 American, needs restore but I intend to rip the motor out and put it into a Ninja 300 or KTM RC390 chassis as a track bike. What do yall think?
 
Out for walkies with the dog this morning at one point we have to walk close by a pylon . Since last time I was there some very determined person had hoisted 2 supermarket trolleys part way up.
A strange thing to do especially as this is at least 3 miles from the nearest supermarket and along a very bumpy bridleway.
Some of you may remember the above from 2 weeks ago. On walkies today i noticed they were gone only for me to see them at the end of the walk now outside a water pumping station not 2 minutes walk from home. My first thought was that i must take them home , swiftly followed by why and what would I use them for. Still tempted so if any of you can come up with a good reason please let me know.
