Why don't I use Argos more?

A fox attacked our rusty rotary washing line. I needed a new one. A bigger and better one, and quick, cause the missus had a load in the machine and there's no way we're putting the dryer on when it's this warm outside.

Amazon was £90-something quid and with Prime delivery it'd be 2 days...!

Argos was £71 and I could pick it up from Sainsbury's in 10 minutes.

The exact same one. (Brabantia. Very fancy.)

I've not bought anything from Argos in years, but why on earth do I default to Amazon for things when Argos was just so convenient, cheaper, and British?

A minor success this weekend, but one I'll be trying to repeat again.

Filming on Ave Mont-Royal

Passing Le Rouge Gorge this evening, and it looks like filming is underway for "Cats in the Plateau", a new comedy for Crave.

I couldn't tell you much more about it though!

I somehow completely missed this, but for anyone else who doesn't yet know: Continued Conversation is back!

In your Google Home app, tap your profile picture in the top right, Home Settings, Gemini for Home voice assistant, Continued Conversation, and toggle it on. That's it!

It's not limited to US only either - it works at least in the UK when set to English.
