12South BookBook case for my Kindle Paperwhite arrived yesterday. Very nice to use & hold.

I found a thick-walled plastic cup I hadn’t used for a few years. It has a vertical channel in the inside & a filter attachment that slides down the channel to hold used coffee grounds or tea leaves at the bottom of the cup in a similar manner to a French press plunger. Brew up, plunge down, add milk/sugar/honey/cream to taste. 1c90c247-0fc0-4899-82fe-200e57ebfbc804781c6f-5e63-4a95-86ce-6fcf18c989ea

Was good to drive in traffic as it had a slushbox, only a 3-speed, though. I prefer manual gearboxes.
The air conditioning was fuct, not worth regassing. but due to near-vertical side glass & a reasonably upright windscreen I could drive on a 39ºC day with a few windows down & not be uncomfortable. Mum's 1996 Hyundai Elantra Sportswagon, though, it was a glasshouse on wheels. Once the interior temp was much over 23º it was A/C time.

Well, that’s different. A friend has recently bought a used SUV, a Suzuki Grand Vitara Urban spec. The Urban is 2 wheel drive only, but in a break from its rivals, the driven wheels are the back ones. This gives it the same towing limits as its 4wd stablemate.

I had one 10 years ago, sort of. My sister was driving a 1985 Datsun Bluebird station wagon and upgraded to a more reliable Toyota Camry wagon when she scored a promotion that meant she had to drive a lot more.
At that time I had a Ford Cortina that was rusting out, consuming vast amounts of oil & using too much fuel.
She suggested that her "shitbox" was better than my "shitbox" & said "drive mine, paying the registration & required insurance until you can afford something better."
The pic shows a similar one, except for the tinted windows.screen shot 2020-08-11 at 11.04.00

Macmost.com posted a video on how to roll-your-own cheap 256 GB external SSD connecting via USB-C (3.1.) Looking at the price of such components, I decided not to go down that track, you can buy a much faster Sony, Seagate or SanDisk small-format 500 GB USB-C (3.1) for less money & they are faster-spec SSDs, too.

My 2017 4k iMac doesn't.
