F watched the Lego movie 2 in the afternoon and that inspired her to get out the lego and play for a bit, and she started to try to film some stop-motion animation with it. Unfortunately she struggled a bit, so B agreed to help, and then they fell out &#8230; so not sure much got filmed in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My main &#8220;excitement&#8221; for the day was replacing the battery in B&#8217;s iPhone. We bought B a refurbished iPhone 5S when he started secondary school, and overall it&#8217;s worked pretty well &#8211; but the battery has always been a bit crap. In the last couple of weeks it&#8217;s completely given up the ghost and so I decided to order a &#8220;battery replacement kit&#8221; from a company called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifixit.com\">iFixIt<\/a> who specialise in making it possible to repair devices that are really not designed to make this easy. The kit was about \u00a330 including shipping &#8211; so it seemed worth a go, and if I bodged it then we weren&#8217;t really in a worse position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6461-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1036\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6461-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6461-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6461-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6461-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6461-800x1067.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6461-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest challenge was getting the old battery out as it&#8217;s held in by glue strips which really didn&#8217;t want to let go &#8211; eventually I managed to get it out and the rest of the process was relatively straightforward if fiddly and slightly nerve-wracking.
