@variablepulserate Copie and paste from another social media outlet featuring Americans always on about “pie” meaning a small piece of a larger dessert pie rather than the proper classic individual hand-held Aussie meat pie. Thechically, the Cornish pastie is a hand pie.
Today's lunch will feature a slow-cooked King Island beef and camembert cheese hand pie, served with mushy peas & sauerkraut.
King Island is the sole land mass between southern Victoria and the Antarctic continent several thousand km away and does NOTHING to interrupt the glacial blasts of wind from the Southern Ocean.
When I bought an Apple Pencil 2 and 256 GB iPad Air 5 Cellular 32 days ago, I paid A$1588. Now that same combination is A$1718. Ouch! Definitely bought at the right time!
Yesterday a 64 GB Cellular iPad 9 sold for A$929, now with the announcement of the iPad 10 the price of the same spec iPad 9 is $150 less. That spec in the iPad 10 is A$999.
Apple has announced new iPads: 10th gen iPad and M2 iPad Pro.

My iPad Air 5 has a backlit combination keyboard/trackpad which makes connection to the iPad via the Smart Connector extension wiring in the internals of the case enclosing the iPad. Strong magnets align and retain the keyboard in place. If I connect the keyboard while the iPad is locked, up pops this message: “Unlock to use USB devices.” This tells me there are two USB interfaces on this iPad: the three-terminal Smart Connector and the USB-C power/sync connector.
Pain. The ribs in my lower back are sore, feels like bruised ribs but I can't account for any activity that would have caused that. Hurts when I move suddenly or stretch too far, when I breathe deeply or laugh. As victim of crime in my younger days I know what a stabbing wound feels like. It's not that sort of pain though.
In addition there's an unexplained ache in my right shin. Seeing my GP about it in 14 hours time.
Bought an unusual fortified wine. It starts out as a ruby tawny port then gets infused with dark chocolate, cinnamon clove spices and three year old brandy spirit well deserving its name of Sable. It's taste is of rich, velvety spiced chocolate that is in no way overpowering.
