I was a little concerned that we might not get any custom, but 33 items through the door was a nice number. Not to hectic but enough to keep us busy until about 20mins before the end of the session. Managed to tidy up and leave on time.

We averaged about 25 items per session last year but we did 37 last month and 46 today. We made the decision to extend the length of the session today by an hour and we&#39;re opening twice a month too.

Same icon and same name. My guess is that it&#39;s a branched old version. It doesn&#39;t have the ability to connect to non-Google accounts. But if you install the real Google Calendar, then Davx works just fine.<br/><br/>Many thanks for your help. 2025-01-08T09:55:38Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsggjxzzh6gcx57mw9kwjmjwh5gy0cafpf95erjzqxdl8t0wnr2zyszyzhzsvlnnjqsvykegm6lxjxzsa3avdq4g04uzqtay4gthq84xsq0sdjzqg2 <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1n5sa0ufdxmye9q8w5spn9y9tw0g0q9jktpyrgx9qev6w7nuwyevqxfrrhp" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>DAVx⁵ :android:🔄</span> (<span class="italic">npub1n5s…rrhp</span>)</a></span> Don&#39;t suppose you guys know how to make events synced through #Davx5 visible to any calendar app on #ChromeBook do you?
