Fuck. What happened to the blurb I was just writing? It just vanished before I could even hit the send button, which I wasn't ready to do.

My supply comes from Cyprus.

WTF, Apple? My iPhone SE & iPod Touch are on iOS 10.1.1. iTunes acknowledges this as fact yet says there's an update to take them up to iOS 10.1.1. Then when I try to humour iTunes & go thru with the "update" it crashes with an unspecified server error. Stupid Bastids.

Update: on Nov 9, Apple released an iTunes-only iOS 10.1.1 update to iOS 10.1.1, but with a different build number. This apparently fixes things that probably aren't broken on my iOS devices.

Apple here's a hint: if it's an update then make it available OTA & give it a different version number.
Numpties.

Just paid my share of the costs of new "office" glasses. They're a variant of multifocals, with a reading zone and computer reading zone. The new healthcare fund pays 65% of the total cost, old fund capped it at 55%.

@kdfrawg meat lump!

@skematica It's ready. I do it in a microwave cake ring pan with a hole in the middle because it won't cook as evenly otherwise. Any sufficiently large piece of meat will brown in a microwave if cooked properly.

Got some cheap lamb mince, onions, breadcrumbs, egg & varios herbs/spices. Meatloaf time.

Result of blood test: low in iron. So it's red meat at least once daily. A colonoscopy/gastroscopy is planned & we then maybe find out why it is so.

@kdfrawg That's your loss.

TIL that bread will go stale faster in the fridge than when left out. Conversely, in the fridge it's less likely to for mould as rapidly. I use very little bread and it's usually the more expensive sourdough rye/wheat varieties. So I freeze my bread & defrost as required.
I used to have 5 or 6 slices per day, now it's less than that per week.
