@variablepulserate There’s a hydrotherapy pool at a council-owned sports complex 1.7 km away. The physiotherapist I’m seeing runs regular classes there, otherwise the pool itself uses the regular 25m pool for two different exercise classes of varying intensity. If I were to make two visits per weeek on a casual (walk in off the street) basis, it would cost $32 per fortnight, whereas an aquatic membership costs me $23 per fortnight & gives unlimited access to the three pools in that complex plus all other pools in the shire. Not that i’m likely to visit those others anyway, they’re summer-only .
Thoroughly sick of these Apple fuck-ups. The latest 10.15.3 Combo Updater in the Apple Support Downloads website links to the download of the previous version, 10.15.2.
Which is as much use as a diesel-powered wristwatch.
Incompetent fuckwads.
@variablepulserate Precisely how my arthritic left knee got into its current state. I can’t walk far without a cane or rollator walker because the muscles around the knee have lost tone and can’t support it as well as they should. And for that very reason, I haven’t been able to exercise it with walking or cycling.
Started a physiotherapy program yesterday, five paid visits under a Medicare (NHS equivalent) Care Plan. A patient can have up to 5 paid sessions with a specialist practitioner per year under a Care Plan.
One session yesterday, another on Friday next week then the remaining three visits done at five or six week intervals. With specified daily exercises in the meantime. The aim is core strengthening & pain reduction.
Stopped at a petrol station for a toilet break, on returning to the car I was puzzled by apparently very directional rain. Also, the precipitation had an odd scent to to.
Then I realised. I was on the west side of the road, with an easterly wind blowing overspray of recycled water from the market garden on the other side of the road.
@matigo Because it is. I used to work with asbestos disposal, I couldn't use the plain paper-like dust masks as they wouldn't seal properly over my wonky-shaped nose & my glasses would steam up, so the boss issued me with that device instead.

@streakmachine I have a friend with the wrong skin type for this climate, pale, with freckles & red hair, very prone to sunburn & skin cancer.
He wears long sleeved shirts & long trousers, broad-brimmed hat & slathers on so much SPF-50+ sunscreen that he needs to take vitamin D supplements to make up for covering so much skin.

@matigo Still available. Because numpties won't do their research & just wear totally useless surgical masks or plain P1-rated dust masks. I have, in my garden shed, a proper dual canister respirator like this one:
