Maybe I could have found the stuff I went all over the place searching for, locally. The problem is that the supermarket's app was down & I couldn't search in specific stores. Apparently the stuff I want is in the newest store a couple of km away.
A friend bought a new 21.5-in iMac for his wife. He wondered why it was slower than the 24-in 2008 iMac it replaced. It was taking MS Word 38 seconds to stop bouncing on the dock & actually start working. I suggested a few possibilities and eventually it was realised the poor thing was still indexing its content after having over 18,000 sizeable photos thrust at it from a back-up drive.
It's working fine now that the indexing is done.
@keita It's a special brew, very tasty & versatile. Consists of grape, raspberry & blackcurrant juices along with unspecified herbs & spices. Very big in the Middle East. My preferred serving is either a hot drink made with boiling water or in milk over ice. The trick with the latter is to use just enough to slightly curdle & thicken the milk.
@matigo Never seen a drunk cat. I have seen a very unco-ordinated cattledog failing to round up the cows (pretty much failing at even walking) after slurping up some spilled brandy.
@keita I spent most of the day driving around to potential suppliers of a favourite imported fruit-juice cordial. In the end my usual supplier had it in the more distant of their two retail outlets. So I'm stocked up for another 12 months or so.
@matigo visiting relatives, demonstrating phone/tablet/computer to small groups, camping, travelling, lots of possibilities.
Arthritis affecting middle finger of left hand need attention. Hurts to bend it fully. Anti-inflammatories needed.
