Been 11 days since I scalded my foot with hot tea, resulting in a 1st-degree burn. I’ve been hacking away at the fraying dressing that went on it 9 days ago, so I can attach more adhesive dressing material to it in order to hold it in place.
The affected area is definitely not a pretty sight, (it is dead skin, of course) the nurses at the clinic who attached the original dressing said it could come off in 10 days, I’ll get them to do that on Monday.
@sumudu I have the cables that came with my Nokia 7.1 & MacBook Pro plus a USB-C to USB-C & a USB-C to USB-A cable as supplied with my Samsung T5 external SSD.
I also have a variety of adaptors to make up charge/sync cables where needed.

@hazardwarning I’ve just blasted them on Twitter for their predatory pricing approach to an update. And uninstalled the whore of a thing. Can’t remember the last time I used it anyway, I use Tweetbot.
Enjoying my version of Hong Kong milk tea.
I use some very fragrant & strong tea, a blend of Assam, Kenyan & Sri Lankan teas, in the ratio of 1 teaspoon of tea per 100 ml of water.
First, boil the water, add the tea and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Then strain the tea into a fine mesh strainer (I use the filter insert for my cold-brew coffee jug) over a jug, pouring the brew through the strainer at least 5 times. Allegedly this reduces the tannin in the brew.
After the last pass through the strainer, return the tea to its heating vessel & bring back to boiling.
Pour into a big cup, (400 ml), add 2 teaspoons of honey and 60 mls of evaporated milk. Heat again, this time in the microwave on high for 15 seconds or so and enjoy.
The result is creamy, strong but not bitter despite being simmered for so long and with a hint of sweetness from the honey.
@matigo Doubt it. Theb beer mob calls their product Tetley’s vs Tetley for the tea.
Tried a couple of different English mid-strength (3.6%) draught beers in 500ml cans in the last week. The brews were John Smith’s Smooth Bitter & Tetley’s Smooth Ale.
Tetley’s was disappointing: didn’t help that each of the four cans lost about 15% of their contents upon opening - I had to hold it over the kitchen sink to avoid spillage on other surfaces.
Disappointed in the taste as well. Too insipid. John Smith’s was a maltier, more bitter brew. I’d definitely buy it again.
@sumudu: You’re a Setapp user, right? Well, I’ve seen a new app there called Unite. It’s for making Site-specific browsers, similar to Fluid app but with a much greater number of settings in the Preferences.
I’m in the process of migrating my Fluid apps to Unite apps.
I think you’ll like it, I do.
