My eye test went well - the optician said my eyes are healthy and my pressures are good. Which is good to know. My distance vision has got slightly worse, and my near vision is a lot worse though, and I need a new pair of reading glasses. Which I hate, btw. I hate that I started needing them in my mid thirties, and that I'll continue to always need them. But my eyesight has always been bad (I've been wearing glasses since I was about four? I think. I was pretty young, anyway), so I honestly don't know why I'm actually surprised.

The smart meter got fitted, and the guy who did it actually came round pretty early on in the day, which was nice - he rang me about nine, and was here by half past. It all seemed to go smoothly, and everything seems to be working, so yay. I am fascinated by the meter monitor that tells me how much I'm using, but I'm sure that'll wear off pretty quickly.

Also we had a power cut yesterday, and I wondered if it was just me at first, but then I looked it up online and no, it was the entire town. I knew when it came back on, because I literally heard one of my neighbours cheer when it did.

And then the other thing is that I found a Celtic knot tutorial that makes sense to me! And now I know how to draw them! I found this video by Lou Davis, which is about how to draw a circular Celtic knot, and then I went back and watched this one, which is how to draw straight line knots (or boxes/borders).

I don't know what it is about how she explains it, but it just makes so much more sense than literally every other tutorial or book I have tried.

I already follow her main channel, but I didn't know she had a secondary channel, or I had forgotten. But anyway, I thought it was helpful, and I thought I'd link to it in case any of y'all were interested!
