Picked up a Kindle Paperwhite 11 to replace my Paperwhite 10 that was slow to respond to input and losing battery performance.
Found a 30% discount on the new price on an Amazon Prime Day deal.
Surprisingly, a big office supples chain has replicated the same price structure for the Kindle models it sells.
Satisfying my Vimto squash cravings. I finished one bottle a few minutes ago, there’s enough in another bottle for a few mixed drinks. I found an Amazon seller with local stock: their minimum order is three bottles, each of one litre capacity. They’re reasonably priced so I placed an order for a pack of three bottles. Delivery expected by 8pm Sunday. Right now it’s just after 1am on Saturday.
@variablepulserate Have a look at Atomic Shrimp’s YouTube channel under the “Weird Stuff In A Can” playlist. Various Fray bentos pies & puddings get a mention.

@variablepulserate You can’t use a can opener thar takes the entire top & rim off it, I tried. I had to fish out my Swiss Army knife with its excellent can opener. An opener that leaves the rim intact is fine, the only sharp edges are on the lid itself & there’s no point keeping that part.
@variablepulserate A bonus is you wind up with a handy metal dish that’s really useful in a workshop for bits & pieces. Or useful while camping.
Canned steak & kidney pie cooed beautifully in the benchtop halogen convection oven. Recognisable & quite tasty bits of kidney in a meaty gravy. Expensive normally but this was a few dollars off normal price.
Pie for dinner. Fray Bentos Steak & Kidney pie in a can. The only piecrust is a disk of puff pastry on the top of the meat & gravy layer.
Any one of three criteria determine who gets immediate access to a 4th or 2nd COVID booster injection.
1: Over 65 years old.
2: Of indigenous origin.
3: Severely immunocompromised.
1: I’m under 65.
2: I’m a white boy.
3: Bingo! Finally found a suitable category.
Today I had a GP appointment, I planned to book in for a flu injection and a 2nd COVID booster shot.
The GP after other requests had been covered said "the flu is becoming rampant & I’ll do you now myself, three of our clinic’s nurses ore off sick at present.”
After removing four layers of clothing to reveal a bare upper arm (it’s winter) I received the flu injection in my right arm.
He then explained the clinic was no longer doing COVID injections but I could make a booking with a nearby pharmacy. He provided me with an official letter explaining my eligibility due to being severely immunocompromiused.
I was not able to book a shot at the pharmacy, or rather, I didn’t have to. After filling out a couple of forms I was told to wait on one of the three chairs on one side of the store. Within 10 minutes I’d had the injection, this time in the left arm, the theory being if there were to be any localised side-effects of either injection, I’d be able to tell which I’m reacting to. Thus far there have been no reactions.
Jab 1: Vaxevria.
Jab 2: Vaxevria.
Jab 3: Pfizer.
Jab 4: Moderna.
