What's going on?

New Sherline parts arrived from the USA, so I'll be constructing a dedicated mill base. I also got a second spindle so I have one dedicated for thread-cutting (i.e. running with a crank and not a motor)

I'm back at work. It's better than I thought. I was low-key not looking forward to it, but actually shedding some of my old responsibilities and concentrating on the new ones feels good so far.

Zeus (10/m/Foxhound) is asleep on the floor in the next room snooring loudly. Love it. Perfect Saturday morning, IMO. (We're in from a walk in the -16C weather).

I just found out one of my favourite terminal fonts (Input) has some custom variations that _dramatically_ help with my dyslexia, including a "handwriting-style" lower-case "a" which is more like a circle with a tail. Tried it as a lark and I am surprised how much more legible it makes large pieces of text.

I also found out that a Pixel 2 phone charger is capable of charging my M1 Macbook and my Thinkpad T480. Wild: it's so small, I didn't think this was work and only found out by plugging in the wrong USB-C cord on my workbench.
