Men's Shed is using approx 2.7 GB of prepaid 3G/4G data per month. So the $60/10 GB/90 day recharge seems to be the best offer from the carrier.

I have a somewhat elderly & decrepit cordless steam iron with a scratched stainless steel soleplate and a long screw jammed into the spot where the "shot-of-steam" button used to be before it broke off in a fall onto a tiled floor. I like to be able to do the ironing without the restrictions of a cord where possible. The local Aldi store opens in 7 hours. They are selling an ideal replacement with a ceramic soleplate, corded or cordless operation & it has a 1.9 metre cord, longer than usual. I aim to get one of those so I need to be there when they open for business.

I had a Lumia 1020 sitting around with a busted screen. I thought it too costly to repair at $220, but found a place that fixed it for$120.

@kdfrawg The latest version of Sierra has supposedly rectified the previous version's tendency to strip annotations from PDFs after they were shared electronically. Example : every two months I compile a crossword for the Mac User Group magazine Then I send the answers & a partially-filled out grid to the editor for inclusion in the next monthly magazine. When I was on 10.12.3, no matter what I did with annotated PDFs, they were absent when the editor opened the document.

Otherwise I agree with the "unsung hero" status of Preview.

You should, too. Very tasty meat. Almost as good (IMHO) as young goat when roasted.

102 km to Mum's place, expect it will take us around 90 minutes to get there, going against the flow of holiday traffic.

I sound my barbaric #yawp over the roofs of the world. Nice try, #yawp. But Mastodon account setup doesn't work.

Roast lamb last night, with a gravy made from caramelised onion & bell peppers; with a Greek souvlaki spice mix added. Mashed potato with sour cream & onion flavouring powder & carrots in a honey-mustard sauce.

Dinner today was roast pork & super- crunchy crackling, last night's leftover gravy added to the meat juices. Roast potatoes with a Moroccan seasoning & steamed cauliflower under a cheesey sauce also made with the sour cream & onion mix.

Did I mention my brother works in a food additives factory?
