I love simplicity and silence. On this blog I share bits and pieces from my daily life. In late 2025 I moved from Waikawa Beach to Ruakākā near Whangārei in Aotearoa. 100% human (she / her). Since July 2024 I've been doing resistance training to help me maintain my independence as I age. Almost 71, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! I believe all beings have the right to clean water, nutritious food and adequate shelter, and that humans are simply one small part of the amazing life on this planet that supports us all: humans, animals, plants. I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018. Follow me on Micro.Blog at https://micro.blog/miraz .
Today I learned door lock terminology: bolt and strike.
We were thrilled to get a digital keypad on our front door, so we didn't need to carry keys with us … until sometimes the lock wouldn't actually lock or unlock from the keypad.
Today the guy from Assa Abloy visited. He pointed out the weather can affect the workings of a door. He also enlarged the 'strike' a little so the bolt has more space to operate.
So far so good.
