This was the first morning that Jay and I slept until 07:00 since getting back. As one ages, it definitely takes longer to recover from jetlag. In Sri Lanka, we were on the other side of the clock. We returned slowly and our flights were from Japan which is 16 hours ahead. Still, it has taken use nearly two weeks to hit our stride.
Jay started going back to the gym yesterday. He goes to the Bonsor Recreational Centre in Burnaby during senior hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. So, Tuesday and Thursdays are usually when we drive uptown for errands and such. Today, I switched on the heated steering wheel and front seats when going uptown. My car doesn't get out in the winters, so I thought to use them today because it felt about as cold as winter. Many of the cherry trees agree with me. We drove uptown but didn't spot many blossoms. The roof of the Royal City Center is the photo above.
The image below isn't a selfie. Amazon bought more packages yesterday. One box had four light bulbs inside. I have been using Google Home for eight years. Dozens of the lights were already wifi-enabled. I've been asking Google to switch on and off apartment lights since 2018.
The ones that arrived are marked as being Matter compatible. I am keen on learning more about how Matter can improve home automation. My new Google TV Streamer has a border router for that type of network as well as a connection to the Internet. Matter is a protocol that automatically links devices in a local ad hoc network within the any space. I never got around to automate these four lights in the bathroom. Now they're helping make a Matter network and more importantly they can be switched to any color or shade of white that I choose.
