My BusyBees & SlothlySavers Weekly Update - 2026 Week 26

The #SaturdaySavers programme run with huge dedication and commitment by @shanibeer came to an end with the close of 2025.

But there are a couple of initiatives to keep the motivation going !

I've decided to post them in the BusyBees Community. This is a community set up to support @zakludick's tireless work in encouraging and teaching newer Hive users. Additionally, I'm adding the #SlothlySavers tag and linking my updates in their weekly update post, because that's another place where former #SaturdaySavers are gravitating to.

Here's a screenshot of last week's progress;

How Did The Week Go ?

Well I'm a couple of days late posting this update, as expected. This last weekend I was away at a re-enactment event. It's actually a wonderful feeling to totally step away from modern technology and the crazy hustle of 21st century life for a couple of days. I only touched my phone once, to take a couple of photos, and I didn't even have to put my glasses on for a whole 48 hours 😁

The only slight downside is that I came home absolutely exhausted and with a huge amount of kit cleaning and repairs to do. I spent yesterday evening doing the urgent stuff, like cleaning the musket so nothing had the chance to corrode. Then slept. Lots. So now I feel relatively human again, and actually quite energised.

In Hive terms, there's not a huge amount to report, because although I did a couple of posts, most of last week's spare time was taken up trying to get ahead with work and pulling everything together for the event. But putting some effort in the previous week certainly paid dividends, with my stack of HIVE and HP increasing by 168 (compared to 68 the week before).

It's also exactly halfway through the year. Most of my goals are on track, with two notable e3xceptions. Posting is a bit below where it needs to be. More effort required ! Additionally, HBD is a complete failure, but that's because the picture has totally changed since the start of the year and I've turned most of my HBD stack into HIVE. I'd say the two cancel out and if I hadn't done that both would be on track instead of one massively down but the other massively up.

Also, I'm so late posting this that.... tomorrow is HPUD day ! 😁
