@matigo These are prepackaged into two vac sealed bags containing 80% cooked shank & 20% sauce. The package weighs 1 kg. Shanks are usually around $8 to $10 per kg anyway, factor in the sauce ingredients and $12 for two saucy shanks is a fair deal.
@larand I found iCloud works both ways re text replacement. Text replacement done in iOS is replicated in OS X and vice versa.

Aldi sells frozen braised lamb shanks. I had one for lunch today, served in a herby tonato & red wine sauce. Fabulous flavours.
My NBN content provider has a feature called Telstra Air whereby I can log in to a Telstra Air or Fon wifi hotspot and access the internet with the downloads going against my home allowance of 400 GB per month. Just used it and the iCab Mobile browser app on the iPhone to download the OS X 10.11.6 updater for the 2008 MBP I keep at Mum's place.
@kdfrawg Which goes a long way to explaining why long-time Australian Prime Minister Robert Menzies was known as "Ming The Merciless." Although he also had feral eyebrows.

@kdfrawg Little-known linguistic quirk: the Scottish surname "Menzies" is pronounced "Mingus."

Catheter bag emptied, washed, drained, rinsed, drained and rinsed/drained several more times to remove suds. Hanging over the bath to drip dry. Won't need it for at least 14 hours. Observe high-tech method of suspending the device.
@matigo They take the load off the lumbar region where wear & tear has caused two or possibly three discs to bulge, pressing on the sciatic nerve. Nature has seen fit to equip me with an abnormally narrow spinal canal so there's only so much space around the vertebrae & spinal cord. So bulging discs don't have so far to bulge before nerves are squozed.
Mum was given some marzipan stollen bites (mini stollen) just before Xmas last year. She's started eating them just recently. Things are somewhat hard & crusty now. I've found soaking them in custard fixes that problem. A brandy-infused custard works even better. But there's no custard here, nor the fixings to make some. Another item for the shopping list.
