@matigo The nearest to being painful is when the cannula is fitted and when cold saline is used to flush the lines.
Four months.that's all it lasted. I had an iron infusion on March 17th. I have an appointment with the gastroenterologist tomorrow, he tells me I need another iron infusion.
I repeated the dinner from Sunday using leftovers but this time I used more meat. There’s enough gravy, parsnip, carrot and mushy peas for one more feed and enough roast lamb for probably three more meals.
There’s meat is a rolled lamb loin that’s about 150 mm long and 65mm diameter. Apart from a tiny fat cap, it’s all meat.
Had a quite tasty dinner tonight. Roast lamb in brown onion gravy, with mushy peas and roasted parsnips and carrots. Plenty of lamb left over with enough veggies alone for another meal.
Thanks for making that so simple, Apple. (I need a sarcasm font). Instructions for force-restarting an iPad without a Home button:
1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.3. Press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
This of course didn’t work. It only invokes Siri. What they don’t tell you is that screen orientation is crucial. In landscape mode, the volume up button is the one furthest away from the top or power button and the volume down is the closer one.
Changing to portrait mode, the buttons are reversed. The process now worked.
So I went deeper into the rabbit-hole and found the the instructions to deal with a frozen or unresponsive iPad.
1. Press and quickly release the volume button closest to the top button.2. Press and quickly release the volume button furthest from the top button3. Press and hold the top button until the device restarts.
They need to clearly state that the iPad be held in portrait orientation to perform a forced restart when specifying volume up and volume down buttons OR refer to the volume buttons as closest to and furthest from the power button.
@matigo You can still use increased contrast and/or reduced transparency in standard iPadOS versions. My iPad Mini 7 is set to increased contrast.
Om my Macs I use both, when you choose increased contrast it automatically triggers reduced transparency.
@matigo I quite fail to see the point of any icon setting other than default for the sort of desktop pictures I favour. I never liked dark mode and relying on shape only for the clear or tinted “glass” look (that strips all colour out of the icon images) is bullshit.
Some YouTube reviewers favour the Reduce Transparency setting but that applies a nasty grey aspect to parts of the view. These folk use dark mode. I prefer instead to use Increase Contrast, that puts a border around app sidebars. The increased contrast also makes the Control Centre icons merge less into the background image.
Nice visual improvements in iPadOS 26 beta 2. Apple apps with sidebars have that sidebar in an outlined section of the window. The control centre icons are darker and stand out more over the background image. MacTracker app now works. A neat upgrade.
