Been living here almost 19 years. 18 years ago a piece of the plastic toilet roll holder snapped off so I replaced it with the end of a brass dart, held onto the remnant with epoxy putty. This worked OK but was wobbly because the dart section was too short, only engaging one of two retaining holes in the bit attached to the wall.

Fixed that today. OK, so I tend to procrastinate sometimes.

I screwed a plastic hollow wall anchor into the dart remnant, this held it vertically OK, but it wanted to slide out. I drilled a small hole in the plastic bogy and fitted a screw so it went into the wall anchor, locking the whole arrangement. Should be good for another 18 years. I'll get back to you all on that.

There's no nutritional difference between rolled, quick-cook or steel-cut oats as they're all made from the whole groat.

Story discredited long ago.

My body is still on summer tine, although daylight savings ended overnight. So I'm having a bowl of porridge & a cup of tea at either 5:30 or 6:30 am.

Time is an artificial construct of mankind, invented to stop everything from happening at once.

End of daylight savings time. That's why my computer 's time is earlier than the house dumb clocks.

Fruitjuice app says I need to run my MBP on battery for 20 minutes more today to reach the target for battery health. It also says I have 11 minutes of battery life. So I'm giving it a tickle-up charge from the old somewhat dodgy MBA charger. Won't deliver as many amps but will charge it eventually.

About 7 hours since my reflux blurb, feeling rather better, counteracted the effect with two strategies: calcium from greek yogurt & a big glass of Eno, a sodium carbonate/bicarbonate antacid with a hint of lemonish flavour. Actually worked.

I'm sending the ambulance around to you now. A&E or mental asylum? Your choice.

We're quite fortunate in that respect, there are several local companies that market & mill steel-cut oats. I like to make up a big batch of porridge then save it in the fridge to be parcelled out for the next week or so.
