@matigo I did. My current 11-in MBA is an ex-Apple machine, just 2 years old with the maximum available upgrades applied. Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD. Paid AU$1495 and recovered AU$400 by selling the old one to a friend. AU$1095 at current exchange rates is US$826.
It's all very well Van Morrison assuring me it's a marvellous night for a Moondance but this cop handing me my pants doesn't agree.
I do need to take up cycling again: I have two bikes, one folds up and fits in the luggage space of my Toyota Yaris hatchback without having to move the rear seats forward. The other is a basic mountain bike - more like a ruggedised road bike than a proper mountain bike. I probably haven't ridden either of them for over a year. There's plenty of bike tracks and parks to ride on, the land is mostly flat.
@jextxadore About 20% of fatalities are motorcyclists yet they're about 4% of the road users. Last year there were 257 fatalities out of a population of around 6 million.

When taking my early morning dump (aka Morning Motion) I observed there was perhaps ⅓ of a serve of dry cat food remaining in the cat's bowl. Then when I was back in bed, I heard her come inside & chow down. I suspect she's finished that as the wee beastie is currently atretched out on top of me, purring violently.
@hazardwarning Figures published last week revealled motorcyclists to have a road fatality rate of 1 in 5, that is, for every 5 fatalities, one is a motorcyclist. Scary stuff.

@sumudu Nice choice. Good balance of features. And being a 13" it has the SD card slot as well, something my 11" Air lacks.
In the end I was unable to retain my old phone mumber in the change-up from ADSL 2+ to FTTN. On Saturday morning I got the phone number disassociated from my address plus the totally unwanted ADSL plan that had somehow auto-renewed instead of being disconnected. I just called the old number and woke up some poor bugger at almost 5am.
@jextxadore Aussie colloquialism. Driving as in holding onto the receptacle in the manner of a steering wheel.
