I’ve had the iron infusion done. The most awkward part of the whole process was finding a parking space.
It will still take a couple of weeks before I start to notice any differences & longer again for it to influence any blood tests.
Been driving in some seriously filthy weather today, it’s really surprising how few vehicles fitted with rear window wipers actually use the things. You have to wonder if they even use the rear-view mirror.
Tried updating the Mem’s Shed iMac to macOS 10.13.6 last week but the Combo Updater I’d put on an ext drive was faulty & somehow incomplete. I did manage to get it to accept iTunes 12.8 though.
Today I used my newly-created TechTool Pro-To-Go drive which is on an 128 GB ext SSD to boot the Mac. I then copied Safari from the TTP drive to the Applications folder on the iMac. Next I opened the Combo Updater & told it to install to the iMac itself rather than the external drive. This it did & when it restarted, the process was a bit slower than usual but still faster than doing an update from the same drive.
The the Software Update section of the Mac App Store sat seeming to do bugger all. it was insisting that the Safari, OS & iTunes updates package needed applying, but I felt it shouldn’t be the case.
The internet at the Shed is supplied via a pocket WiFi on a 4G network that’s just not as fast or extensive as the network I have my phones connected to.
So I started internet hotspot on the Lumia 1520, it was a significantly faster connection & the App Store was then almost instantly able to deermine than the right updates had been done.
@variablepulserate What are your needs? If it’s optical zoom but not low light or action photography then maybe you’d consider the Nikon CoolPix 1000 with 125x optical zoom. https://www.cameralabs.com/nikon-coolpix-p1000-review/

@variablepulserate How about a phone with a large photo sensor? I have two that are occasionally used, a Lumia 1020 (38 MP) & a Lumia 1520 (19 MP). Both have 2 GB of RAM but the 1520 uses a quad-core processor,which combines with the smaller image size to mean you don’t get the huge time between shots that’s so noticeable on the older 1020.

I just scored 8 out of 10 in an online quiz on what can & can't go into a municipal recycling bin.
The reason I "failed" the first two questions is because my municipal area is one of only four in the country that can process soft plastics such as frozen food bags.
I have notified the author of the quiz because I am a pedantic fellow.
This will form most of tomorrow’s lunch.
Asian grocery sells them at $2.50 each or 5 for the price of four. So I bought 5. And was charged $9.50.
Got out of the car to go to the bank. Right lens dropped out of my reading glasses. Made using the ATM awkward, squinting with one eye shut.
Next to SpecSavers for repairs. They found a suitable screw to replace the one that fell out, then checked the tension of the others screws, putting a dab of Loctite on each one. Next the nose-pads were replaced & the lenses cleaned in an ultrasonic bath before being dried & returned to me.
