What do you call a group of tactical board game players bragging about their games in a hotel lobby?
Chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.
So for most of today both wrists have had braces fitted to borh suppurt them & to reduce pain/inflamation. It's been awkward, though. It's quite a hot day and it's been hot & sweaty under the strapping.
Woke up this morning with a very sore right wrist plus there's a horrid ganglion cyst in my left wrist giving me grief. Fortunately I have two different wrist braces, both are ambidextrous in orientation. One has an aluminium splint to reduce joint articulation, the other is a wrap-around thing. The splint one fits my right wrist/hand better because it's smaller than my left wrist/hand. Being right-handed I use that one for finesse & the left for grunt work. It seems 58 years of doing that has led to slightly greater physical development on the left.
I have just signed up with Australia Post's Shopmate service. This gives me a US shipping address, once delivered there, Australia Post handles the rest of the delivery process. This means I'll be able to get around issues most Amazon traders have with not shipping here.
TIL that Australian quarantine regulations preclude the importation of bone-in ham, ergo any ham-on-the-bone sold here is an Australian product.
Musing. The lord mayor of the Victorian capital city Melbourne from 1988-1989 was Winsome McCaughey (pronounced McCacky). It didn't take long at all for a radio satire group to refer to her as Pensive McTacky.
Trying a limited edition brew from a local brewery. Fig & ginger ale.
Organic figs, ginger & coriander seeds in a low-alcohol ale. Mighty refreshing.
