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.
@streakmachine 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.
@streakmachine 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.

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.
Physiotherapist has given me a range of exercises to alleviate the discomfort from my nerve-damaged toes, those toes don't have a huge muscle-mass operating them, unlike the rest of the toes. The exercises are aimed at increasing the bloodflow to the affected areas.
He also showed how to exercise the left rotator cuff area that's responsible for my upper arm pain.
