Going silent for a time as I search for pain relief. May need to visit a physiotherapist. Not been this sore in a long time. Bye.
Relatively hard, physical work for 35 years, no major problems other than fractures, which I fully recovered from. No lingering back issues, but possibly conditions contributed to wear & tear + arthritis in one knee.
Now I've stopped full-time work and my back has been wrecked by a fucking exercise machine.
The pain is especially bad today.
Two hours & ten minutes after buying a Kindle book that was supposed to take 5-½ hours to read, I have finished it.

@bazbt3 Rest assured that when in operation it does not hang down on the wall side.
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.
@indigo There's no nutritional difference between rolled, quick-cook or steel-cut oats as they're all made from the whole groat.

@indigo 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.
