oldbloke's mutterings

My razor's low attery warning started flashing a week ago. It's been doing this after fewer days than one might feel happy with, of late. Thought it might be time for a new one. As it was a holiday and there was no rush in the mornings, I decided to see how long it'd go before it gave up. From the day the warning started, I got 5 count them 5 more shaves. So the battery's OK, it's just the warning that's over-pessimistic.

Spy Kids 3 - Jack loves it. I quite like it myself. Almost tempted to find the 3D version.
