  11. 1/2
    Coway bidet toilet seat remote control holder.

    It is too big for the remote.
    The remote moves around when the button is pushed.

    (Thanks Coway. Your holder is not fit for purpose. smh. )

    I made a pad of expanded styrofoam measuring 71mm wide, 77mm tall and angled from ~6mm thick at the top to 7mm thick at the bottom.

    This will be put in the back bottom of the holder and held in place with double sided tape.

  16. Went to a #Dementia care place.

    Shock #1 was walking around looking for my relative, walked through the lounge where many of the residents seem to sit most of the day.
    Couldn't see him.
    But he was there.
    In the last week he's got to blending in.

    #2 was seeing him walking with a zimmerman frame, sway backwards, then lean forward onto the frame.
    The frame slid forward (with the brakes on).
    He fell.
