It sucks. It’s going to get bad when a significant chunk of customers can no longer afford to buy - they could raise the prices but at some point infinite growth is sustainable.
I’m only hoping refurbishing places like Computerbank can salvage a lot of them. Things like Linux and Libre Office will be lifelines to older and poorer people.
If I could just get organised enough and had the mind for it I’d be all over FOSS myself
There’s always some nutbag who can’t mind their own business and has to touch things that aren’t theirs…
Can’t believe I didn’t remember this before. I think Klever Cages might have gone under now but they had enclosures you could snap together out of pipes and there was the option to add a waterproof partial cover.
A few of the specialised parts (door hinge etc) could be tricky to find but for a simple open rectangular shelter it can be done with pipes and connectors from Bunnings plus a tarp. There are free plans online. You could even make the waterproofing full length and in an inconspicuous colour.
Perhaps that would hide the food bowl from her and offer the cats protection from the rain.
I kind of neglected my garden while feeling so sick for this past week.
With help I managed to sort out a dental appointment for May but that’s still a month away so I got another week of antibiotics from the gp to try and hold me. Worried about the wait tbh.
