I’m still very satisfied with my AirPods, but I haven’t found the perfect fit with the original tips. They come loose and sometimes fall out. So, I’ve been looking for alternatives and have found a couple.
First of all, you can buy tips made of foam instead of silicone, and secondly, you can buy ‘wings’ for the AirPods so they are sitting more firmly. I started by buying foam tips, but they only worked in one ear. Now, the question is whether another size will solve the problem or if I should buy those ‘wings. I decided to buy both.
So far, it works perfectly with tips in different sizes. I need to squeeze the tips before putting them in my ears, but afterward, they fit perfectly. They also stay put after a long walk, so it doesn’t get any better than that 😃
I’m going to play with a clarinet and a tenor sax. I usually play with the person who plays clarinet once a month. She also plays tenor sax; when we play together, we play a mix of clarinets and saxophones. I love it when we do that. She plays with a guy who plays the tenor sax, and we have decided to play together to see if it would work. I chose some big band arrangements with backing tracks that we could play.
The guy was not thrilled. He wants to play the melody all the time and doesn’t want to practice the skill of playing in a big band. I respect that, but I think it would be beneficial for him to play with backing tracks because he doesn’t respect the pauses. He always plays too early because he doesn’t want to wait, which is noticeable when he plays the melody.
It was a great couple of hours, and I would do it again, but the guy didn’t want to repeat it. He said he plays too much already, so he couldn’t find the time. Instead, the woman and I have agreed that we want to play more frequently - I’m looking forward to it.
I’ve had two Netatmo indoor security cameras for a few years but wasn’t happy with them. It was impossible to get them to cooperate so that the sirene didn’t go off when I got home. Besides that, there were too many false positives. The advantage of Netatmo is that every recording is saved locally on an SD card in the camera - no cloud. One of the cameras became faulty a couple of months ago, and I’ve also disconnected the
I want two things from an alarm system. I want to be notified if someone is in my house when I’m not home, and I want to know if I closed the garden door. One time, I forgot to close the garden door, and it was not funny being away from home and not knowing whether or not the door was shut. I have looked for replacements for the Netatmo system, but I’m unhappy about the cloud solutions. Meanwhile, I’ve become satisfied with the Ring camera and doorbell I purchased. So, when I received an offer for their alarm system, I bought it.
I’ve put up two motion sensors and two door sensors. The door sensors are much better than the ones from Netatmo, and the motion sensors don’t give false positives, so I’m happy overall. I still need to fine-tune the system, but in general, everything works smoothly. The default setting is to allow me 30 seconds to disarm the system when I get home, but I’ve changed that, so everything goes to sleep mode for 15 minutes when I get near the house. That way, I can take my time when I get home with my hands full without panicking because I only have 30 seconds to disarm the system.
The only thing that annoys me now is the chime I bought with the doorbell. It keeps on chiming even though the doorbell is in sleep mode. I think that it’s me who doesn’t know how to fix it. 😃

Our conductor has told us that he wants a break, which has caused some chaos in the big band. I’m confused about why it happens now because the conductor told us this a year ago. Apparently, the committee has been sleeping because they haven’t prepared anything. Or, more correctly, they expected everyone in the big to play without a conductor for some time. But why haven’t they asked us?
I don’t understand how it is possible to be so narrow-minded that you don’t ask the members what they want when the conductor takes a break but instead assume that everyone wants the same thing as yourself. It turns out that many of the members, including me, don’t want to show up unless a conductor is present. Why haven’t we talked about this in the fall? And why hasn’t the committee asked for the prerequisites for people to keep showing up? And they should also have asked if people were willing to pay for a professional conductor.
There has been a professional conductor the last two times, and I think it’s fantastic. He is nice and has a great way of correcting us. It’s relaxed and friendly, and nobody feels singled out. There are rumors about people not wanting to pay for a conductor, and some think having a conductor for every rehearsal is unnecessary. Well, it is necessary because he has focused on teaching us how to play swing. It’s an indication that we need a lot of basic knowledge, and it’s about time we get professional help. But not all agree with that. I’m excited to see how it all ends.
Sometimes, I ask too much about the inventory in my home. I’m very happy with my dining table with a white laminate surface, but when the felt mats I want for it can only be bought in grey, the table becomes colorless and dull.
This Christmas, I bought a table runner with gold stars that looked very pretty, so I bought a ‘real’ table runner to give the table some color. Of course, I need different colors depending on my mood or the season, so I’m looking for a yellow one for easter.
