I managed to get Mum's pre-op hospital visit forms done online, with a bit of help from my sister, who holds enduring medical power-of-attorney for Mum & is listed as her next-of-kin. I used the Lumia 1520 to supply the internet signal & the 2008 MacBook Pro I keep at Mum's place. During the process I received a text message saying I'd used 30% of my annual data allowance, which means there's 29 GB remaining with 7 months remaining to use it.
Damaging winds were forevast for today. The emergency services warning app shows a tree down anout 500 m nothe of here. At least we've dot rid of nasty big trees from these residential units.
Last November I bought a refurbished iPod Touch (128 GB) from Apple for $489, this was a saving of $90 on new price. Now, with the demise of non-app iPods, it's $449 new.
@matigo Alas, I must. Got to get some medical forms to my mother for her to fill in ASAP.
Damaging winds with gusts up to 105 kph forecast for today. It's pretty nasty already and only 7 am.
Tasty tiny bite-sized curried vegetable pies, 45mm in diameter. Very nice indeed.
Wasn't much fun taking Mum home from hospital on Wed afternoon. Caught up in traffic going home from the CBD, left just after 4 pm. Next Wed I have to get her there by that same time. No fun.
An American tourist is visiting Russia, and he's talking with a Russian about the fact that not many people in Russia own cars.
American: "I can't believe you don't have cars here! How do you get to work?"
Russian: "We take the bus, or the subway. We have public
transportation everywhere."
A: "Well, how do you go on vacations?"
R: "We take the train."
A: "Well, what if you want to go abroad?"
R: "We don't ever want go abroad."
A: "Well, what if you really HAVE to go abroad?"
R: "We take tanks."
