Sometimes I'm in the mood for a light sweet fruity wine and I've found an interesting rose style made from moscato & cienna grapes. It's seriously fruity and a shade drier than regular moscato wines but is still quite sweet. The low alcohol content is a nice aside, it's 7% ABV.

More info on the cienna grape: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cienna

Just added three teaspoons of instant coffee to a little boiling water & milk powder. This mix was then added to a 750 ml bottle of espresso-flavoured milk to bring up the coffee to sugar ratio, it was far too sweet. The double espresso version was sold out in the supermarket.
The mix fix is more palatable now.

Shopping observations from today. Odd pricing. 16 GB SanDisk iXpand 2 is $79 but the 32 GB model is $56. A ¾ kg bag of frozen prawn gyoza dumplings is $16 and the 1 kg bag of the same product & brand is also $16.

Is silly.

The Men's Shed iMac had an external HD with an experimental basic installation of Sierra on it. I fired it up just to see how many updates were available, it said 15, including Microsoft OneNote & OneDrive, neither of which are installed on the computer or the ext HD.

I'll admit it had me a bit flummoxed, then I realised the USB stick which has the Sierra 10.2.2 combo updater had copies of those two apps on it & the MAS was obviously seeing those & wanting to update them.

Not happening, I decided. I rebooted into the Yosemite installation & repartitioned the ext HD to remove the Sierra install, allowing the freed space to revert to Time Machine duties.

I'm now installing Sierra on the iMac itself.

The used cellphone I acquired a few days ago as payment for setting up an AirPrint printer for a friend was a tad sick in the battery department, dying after 4.5 days on standby. They should go for at least twice that time.
There are two competing battery companies in this town, BatteryZone & BatteryWorld, I visited the latter as it's a new store & I'd not been there before. I enquired how long it would take to get a suitable battery in stock, the phone is six years old now.
The man behind the counter made no reply, just pivoted & took the right battery from a hook behind him.
I rather think he might get more business from me.

Exceptionally stupid error message when attempting to use a store's iOS app. There is no newer version of iOS.

The the app announced by another error message that the app itself no longer worked and a newer, better version had replaced it.

Then the app reverted to a poorly-displayed version of the website, all COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY LINKS to the new version. I had to find that with a manual search of the app store.

WANKERS.
