Today I hit RS, and took advantage of some good sales they were having:
Good 'ol mini notebooks. I've got a couple of those around here somewhere.
A
USB-DALI master for my experiment in using blue light therapy to change timezones
before long-haul flights to avoid jet lag.
I just bought a broken Tektronix 3465A I hope to repair/refurbish. Should be a fun project!
Reminder to self, stop reading so many posts on the forum it is going to get expensive !

Got a couple USB power bank cases. Not long after installed batteries, one is already no where to be found.
Got also three more charge doctors. At less than $2 each, I feel every USB charger in use should have one of these on.
And, ya, a Fluke863 for about $100 can be counted as a purchase of recent month. it had a few blank lines and needed to put some pressure on the ribbon connector to fix.

Not as flouty as the French stuff but I've just had a flatcake breakfast from my regular greasy spoon. They're normally a bit overbearing but this one took me an hour to eat and I don't think I'll need anythig else for days lol.
Not a purchase but apparently I'm recieving a box full of 4PDT relays later today...

On Friday, I received orders for 2 of my Generator Autostart ATS Control Panels.
Spent some time on Saturday, and most of this afternoon completing the board layout.
then this evening I Just spent over ZAR700 (about a tank of petrol) with ITEADSTUDIO
for 10 off 10x10cm Prototype PCB's
Most of the cost was for the DHL shipping.
I just couldn't wait 4 months for the standard shipping.
Now I have my fingers crossed that they will arrive in 2 weeks!

$87.50 and $35 shipping.
ETA: That's a google image search photo. The one I ordered off of
that auction website will likely not look quite as nice.
