@jextxadore Likewise, all OK.

I have (amongst other things) a Nespresso Dolce Gusto compact coffee pod machine but the pods are rather pricy for the Starbucks and official Dolce Gusto pods. One of the big supermarket chains has their own brand of real coffee and a limited range of Dolce Gusto flavours.
ALDI's Expressi range uses the K-Fee poD system, not compatible with anything else, these are very well priced. I have found a company that sells adapters to let K-Fee pods work in the Dolce Gusto device. Two such devices have been ordered. Amazon also sells the adapter but at 5 times the price of the others and they have to be imported as well.
@matigo I've just noticed that my Mentions list is severely shortened, having two mentions for this month, then the next one is from February 2018. There seems to be something missing.
@variablepulserate There a now-deceased Australian performer called Jon English who did an interesting version of Turn The Page. It's one of the songs from his Six Ribbons album from 1974.
@variablepulserate This one consists of 20 capsules, 3 per day with food. I'm to see the GP for more if the condition doesn't go away. At this stage I do not envisage any problems
@variablepulserate I did get rapid treatment, I've been given a 7-day course of antibiotics and already there's improvement. Being a disability pension recipient, the clinic's fees are fully paid my Medicare, our NHS equivalent.
Picked up a nasty chest infection, need to phone the medical clinic when they open in 20 minutes. With my medical history and autoimmune disease, I have a hospital go-bag packed in case that is necessary. Such a thing has been needed twice in the last five years.
Observations on using the Apple Studio Display with Zoom.
The camera needs more light during daylight hours, currently supplied by the ring-light part of the old webcam. It has three touch selectable levels of illumination. It has an array of three microphones, together they don't sound as good as the Audio-Technica USB condenser mic I used to use so that's my go-to audio input device. The speakers are excellent, totally replacing a 2008 Logitech 15W USB subwoofer 2.1 stereo speaker setup. Now I have to find a use for that speaker setup, it's still very effective. The webcam in Centre Stage mode is inadequate; I prefer it in "normal" mode. If necessary I can use the iPhone's rear camera as a webcam via Continuity Camera. In Zoom, once you get more that about 5 participants, their effective webcam resolution drops to around 720p levels anyway.
It integrates so well with my other Apple gear, I can accept the high price because it has the promise of working fine for a decade or more as well as replacing other stand-alone peripherals.
