The old robot vacuum was getting a bit tired

Having been delayed for ages, this was released this week and I’ve just set it up. Very happy 😃 (Eufy s2)

They are one step away from Skechers slip on trainers… :D

My pleasing purchase, Shokz Open Run pro 2 bone conducting headphones. Music is nice and clear, sound level is good and unlike earbuds, I can still hear ambient noises and they are unlikely to fall off / out.

They are the work of witches and warlocks. Uncanny how good the sound is without shoving bits in your ears.

Initially I thought you were referring to Skechers :D

But, yes, really good sound. I may still resort to noise cancelling buds in the gym as there are a couple of rather vocal trainers in there that I don’t need / want to hear above everything else ;) But they have been great on the last two runs I’ve done.

Not my purchase, but my sister-in-law who is a bit of a spiv when it comes to Lego and stuff, buying discontinued sets, storing them and them selling them when the demand goes up.

She went to a boot fair and bought a Home Alone 2 Kevin Macalister figure for 50p. Flogged it on eBay for £125. :o :thumbup:

And a Sonos Roam 2 to replace just just-gone-pop Play:1. Be handy as the usual travel speaker we take away with us is donkey's years old.

May or may not have got a bit of naughty JL Partner discount as well... :think:

A lawn tractor FFS. Since I started work on a building site I've become lower middle class. It'll be crocs and a gas BBQ next.

Where's the hemlock?

I did consider the Roam for garden duties but got the new Play instead - pretty good piece of kit.

I've got the original Play, it's a great piece of kit, my only complaint is that you can't have Bluetooth and wireless both turned on at the same time, it's one or the other and you have to press a button on the back to switch between them.
