My older sister is visiting Mum for a few days, she’s over from Western Australia, several hours flight time away.
I had planned to visit today, but the noise from the transmission as I eased the car into reverse put paid to that idea.
I hope to get it to the mechanic tomorrow, may have to leave it with them for a week due to demand.

Car’s playing up. Clutch seems to be fuct. Might be enough meat left on it to travel the 900m to the mechanic’s workshop. Don’t know when they’ll have time to work on it, though.

What happens to Charlie in the meantime? Is she being looked after? Get well soon, Dale.

My spare cellphone’s 365-day call/data pack ran out today, so I recharged it. I felt 42 BG of data was reasonable last year, only used 34 GB.
This time I’m an existing customer so I get 48 GB.Image

Blast & bloody damn it. Last night’s brushcutting & chainsawing plus rubbish removal has strained my bad shoulder.

My limited understanding of the salted caramel trend was as a chocolate enhancer.

Been trying to figure out why the Men’s Shed iMac’s screensaver was starting so soon after the last mouse/keyboard input.
Found out why today: screensaver had been set to start after one minute of inactivity. Now reset to ten minutes.

Forking idiot!

Tried cloning via the other T/bolt cable: failed. Write errors. Now checking status of Thunderbolt port itself. I have a T/bolt-to-USB 3.0/Gigabit Ethernet adaptor available, so I’ve connected the drive via the reliable USB 3 SATA interface and the clone process is yet to report errors. So it seems the Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt/SATA adaptor I bought about 5 years ago is fuct.

I’d bought it to use with both the 2011 MBA & MBP computers I used to operate. Now the new iMac & used (one previous owner -Apple) 2014 MBA have USB 3 ports (plus Thunderbolt 3 on the iMac) so I don’t t really need the T/bolt/SATA adaptor.

You can’t get them any more, or not for any reasonable price.
