All things me.

Yesterday I managed to get both of the kids outside to play in the snow, which I’m very happy about today. During the afternoon the temperature crept above 0° C, so the snow is melting now.

On my way to work.

It worked!

When I connect my phone to the charger, if it’s after 22:30 and I am at home, all lights turns off. This post on the Home Assistant forum was really helpful.

Now I’ll need to add Home Assistant to Linn’s phone as well and at her to the mix.

Every now and then I try to set something up in Home Assistant but every time I do it feels so clunky. Still, I want to wrap my head around it and get it working because I really like the idea of it.

If I’ve managed to get things working the way I want, when I connect my phone to the charger tonight, all my lights will turn off. Fingers crossed!

The first snow fell early yesterday morning. Here’s a photo of the patio late last night as it was starting to pile up. We’ve officially entered winter.

A quick slice-of-life photo, cooking dinner while catching up on some YouTube videos.

A photo of a starry sky above a lake.
Yesterday Linn and I decided to take a spontaneous sauna visit. It was a fairly quick visit to be able to also do all the chores necessary of a Sunday but it was totally worth it. Very relaxing and a *fabulous* night sky outside.

Spent most of yesterday outside, working on the carport with lots of help from Sverker. It’s not done done, but it’s reach a stage where it’s done for the season. Once spring arrives I’ll do more work on the roof.

Never got around to posting this yesterday. My home office desk, full of little index cards to plan out a university course for the spring semester.
