@larand and potatoes. This little corner of the world grows around 70% of the nation's potatoes & 95% of the asparagus.

@indigo whereas most small towns have a butcher. In the 40 km separating my place from my mother's, there are five small towns, the three largest ones have excellent butchers.

@jextxadore by shopping on Saturday mornings or going to wholesale butchers who tend to stay open later. The small country town where my mother lives has a butcher as well as two supermarket meat departments. This butchery is a 7-day per week enterprise with the best meat in the area. An enviable reputation built up over many years.
And Polymail now has IMAP support in beta. So I can use it to access both Men's Shed email accounts whilst away from the shed. I had been using Inky but its interface sucked compared with Polymail.
@jextxadore It's very rare to find butchers that open past 5;30 pm here. It's always been that way…..
Looking like longposts.net over in ADN-land has died. I tried a longpost with nice.social but the link went nowhere when I tried to open it with Safari from Cauldron app.
So I'm back to using Droplr instead.
@matigo Doubt it. Might be related to the multiple pelvic fracture I had in 1990. I have enough pinched nerve problems in my lower back: that's the sciatic nerve getting squoze.
Getting weird twinges in my left thigh, up near the hip. Takes an effort not to fall when they're bad.
Contacted a sensible person at the ISP/carrier who was able to tell me that my new bundled connection is the National Broadband Network 400 GB per month internet component & my original phone number. I can ignore the letter that says my phone number will cost $39 per month, he confirmed the old original phone number is included in the NBN bundle.
It's not so much the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing; it's more that the right hand doesn't know the left hand exists while the left hand knows all about the right hand.
And I worked for that mob for 31 years. No wonder I'm a mental case & a nervous wreck.
Incompetent trollop in carrier's local shop can't understand my concerns. I had a bundled internet connection consisting of FTTN @ 400 GB per month & a home phone connection for $89. Some idiot has disconnected the home phone component & issued my old home phone number (which had been changed for another when the FTTN replaced the ADSL) as a separate $39 per month component.
They were supposed to disconnect the ADSL & associated phone number when the FTTN came along. Instead the sods renewed the ADSL for an extra 2 years.
I contacted some helpful person who, as far as I was concerned, fixed everything to my satisfaction by disassociating the ADSL & phone number from my address. I'm waiting on her to contact me again.
Hateful bunch of morons.
