It's a brute-force fix. I want something more subtle. Bring on the nanobots.

dry now.

Walking any sort of distance is difficult enough with the osteoarthritis in one knee & sciatica affecting all of the other leg when it strikes, but now I've strained a muscle in my lower back on the sciatica side. No idea what or how, but any movement is now feeble & painful. I twitch & lurch more than I walk.

Only light rain now. The cat has come inside from taking a dump in the back yard & her fur is only slightly damp.

An nation with its priorities properly sorted.

Yesterday was hot enough that when I got home I left the car windows down 50mm to cool it down some while parked in the shade of a feral lemon tree.
Then we had heavy rain during the night. Which got in through those partly opened windows. Annoying cis the driver's seat was damp & the steering wheel slippery & wet.

Before Hutchison Telecoms (trading as Orange) merged with Vodafone in Australia, they offered a hybrid cordless phone. When in range of the home's base station(s) they used PSTN and outside that range they used the Orange GSM network. This was only available in limited areas: capital cities only.

I need to set up a different phone bill payment on my iOS jiggers: currently I use a credit card. My next bill includes a $0.51 credit card payment processing fee from last month's bill. Or just stop using the carrier's iOS app to make payments.
I do have the option of PayPal but after their last upfuck in sending my payment to the wrong billing section I vowed to avoid paying phone bills with them. Due to the misdirection the carrier charged a late payment fee despite me extending the billing period to cover the discrepancy. It was all sorted out in the end but still took 2 weeks of to-ing & fro-ing between myself, the carrier & PayPal. Fuck that. Not going there again.
