Having coffee, smth sweet and a followup cigarrete in the morning makes me happy to be awake. Or kiss goodbyes and hellos.

I've been replacing our light switches with smart switches. We tell Alexa good night and she turns off all the lights and locks the doors. I'm chuckling at the idea of telling Alexa "good luck with the lamps!"

We actually tried this! Tried to get her to say "Good luck with your lamps" as the reply because we're British and terminally sarcastic like that, but ofc she doesn't really do tone so it was underwhelming.

We turned it off and went back to the old fashioned way ๐Ÿ˜‚

Google has a decent British voice. But no tone either. I wonder if you made it 'ya or lamps'
