Thomas: How can we find out when you launch? Can't seem to sign up yet.

Man, that is scary. I think I’m going to buy a small portable smoke detector. Thanks for this.

Thanks. Yes, I think it's a must. Weirdly, there is no portable smoke detector/carbon monoxide detector combo.

If you're going to spend much time outside of Western Europe, you definitely should.

Portable smoke detector. Gotta get us one. Which did you buy and do you recommend. Of course, noting that you have presumably not had an opportunity to test it....

Ha ha yes it hasn't been tested. Also difficult to pack due to lithium battery. Ours is unmarked, no brand. How weird 🤔

Hmmmm. Not instilling a lot of confidence, here.
