Yes, I did too, but it wasn't snowing then. However I was still blinded by my glasses constantly steaming up above my mask/scarf combo.
At one point a guy started talking to me and I couldn't even see where the damn voice was coming from. So I just left him... wherever he was.
He's probably still talking to me now.

I broke my vow never to go outside today...

Glasses. Scarf. AND Mask! 
Yeah, I initially thought it was someone chatting on the phone but he was saying something about moving his bins so that I had room to walk past.
Couldn't see him.
Couldn't see the bins.
I just kept on in a straight line and hoped I didn't bump into anything.

It's been so cold recently that pipes have now started leaking. 
Lovely.
Lovely.

Not good.

I decided to install Blender today. But while making cubes and cylinders is easy, the stuff I want to do is.... not so much so, so I decided to actually watch some tutorials. With one cat on the tablet obscuring the screen and the other continuously talking over the audio this proved a bit difficult, though...

Have you never used Blender before?
I used to use it a lot back in the old days when the interface was awful and the texturing was a bit clunky.
And now that they have a nicer interface with PBR textures and node editors and fancy cycles renderers and Evee viewports... I no longer know how to use it properly.

I tried once, like 20 years ago. It was awful and - as with all other 3d software I tried back then - I found hand coding much easier. But the coding languages change and hand coding isn't so easy anymore 
So I figured I'd give blender another chance. I've downloaded the installer before, but didn't get as far as actually installing it.
I still think hand coding feels better. Like, I don't get numbers with 6 or 7 decimals when I only need one, and I don't get 5 million faces when I can make do with 20. But I'm already stuck on the grid in Blender. One tutorial said that each grid is 1 meter (or at least that's how I interpreted it) but it's definitely not the case. And now I can't even find where I told it to use meters in the first place... (I'm sure it's right there, in my face...)[
I'm still hoping to find somewhere I can manually adjust coordinates.... (I think I saw a possible such place in the video I just watched but I haven't tried yet)
EDIT: Nope.

Does pressing N still bring up a panel with numbers?
(EDIT: Or was it T?
)
Or is my memory fading again.
I never really used the numbers thing as I did all the modelling by extruding edges and just guessing that things were in the right place.
