Hitched up my soundbar to the TV and also selected the OG HomePod stereo pair to play Elton John's Funeral For A Friend track really loudly. This track is the opening one for the almost 50 year old Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album, released in May of 1973.
Why play such a track?
Because it was appropriate, I'd just returned home from the funeral of a friend.
@coopey It's entirely possible, I'm usually no great fan of gin, either. On the weekend I chanced upon a gin-maker's stall at a local festival and he was allowing three free samples. The ginger and rhubarb-infused one was a clear favourite and really smooth in the gullet with a hint of heat from the ginger.
My knee, back and balance issues don't allow me to walk very far in one go. Today I'm attending a funeral a mere 300 metres from my front door and I'll be giving my new side-folding rollator walker a try-out . With its wheels flipped up (rears through 90º, fronts through 180º) it's really very compact in the storage mode. Its design encourages users to take a very upright stance when using it too.
@coopey I share your hatred of this vegetable, however infused into gin or schnapps, it's quite nice.
I have just ordered a small bag of ground and roasted wattleseeds. The product is used as a caffeine-free coffee substitute with a coffee/chocolate/hazelnut flavour profile. Unlike coffee, the used grounds can be utilised further to flavour dairy desserts and baked goods such a cookies or breads.
I can efectively carry my dismantled portable pull-apart mobility scooter in the back of the car but adding a folded rollator walker takes up valuable space because of the wat the thing fold. Ergo, Amazon is scheduled to deliver a compact side-folding version by 8pm today.

Bus-driver friend dropped by today, in between taking a load of boozers to and from a wedding reception, he had 5 hours to fill in. We chatted about various things, what members of our respective families were up to, then watched a nice Xmas movie on my Apple TV before giving him a feed and a few more cups of tea.
He enjoyed the movie sufficiently that he took the time to buy the BluRay version of ot on his Android phone.
The movie was a bit over-the-top but thoroughly enjoyable, called Violent Night.
Just read that it’s law that you have to turn your headlights on when it’s raining in Sweden.
How the hell am I supposed to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
