I mentioned yesterday that I had new keys cut for our new front door lock, and they didn’t work. So today after my morning ethics classes I went to the hardware store again and took the keys back. The woman there examined the cut keys and tried putting them in the cutting machine again to see if it would take a bit more metal off. And lo it did, and I tested the keys in the lock there and then (since the lock isn’t in the door yet), and they worked. 🎉
I’m not sure I did much else of note today. Oh, I sent off a package containing copies of my two Irregular Webcomic! books:

A reader asked if I still had any left, and yes, I do have a few copies of each. So they sent some money and I mailed off the package.
I also did a bit of thinking about contacting an electrician. We’re planning to replace some light fittings in our place with new ones, and intending to go to a showroom on the weekend to choose some styles. Then we need to get an electrician in to install them. I tried phoning the old electrician we used many years ago, but it seems he’s no longer working. So I contacted our apartment building committee to ask if they had any preferred electricians that we could use. I got some details, but a bit late so I’ll call tomorrow.
