There's s a mostly-volunteer organisation not far from here that runs narrow-gauge trains on the former rural 2'6" rail lines. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PuffingBillyRailway
They are the only organisation in the state of Victoria that's permitted to train & instruct steam engine drivers.
Another volunteer organisation runs annual trips on the main rail lines using old mainline locos, some of which were converted from coal to oil in the 1950s. The Puffing Billy Railway is restoring a Garratt loco that has the same tractive effort as one of the older mainline locos.

Looks to be a similar scale to this loco

WP<u>20150530</u>15<u>21</u>05_Pro.jpg which is being built on a private miniature railway some 25 minutes north of here. A friend's doctor has been running it as a hobby for the last 35 years, gradually building it up to its present state. All volunteers who work on the railway are ex-patients of the doctor.
That photo is a bit over a year old, they built it from scratch in their workshop. It'll be running on a 12-inch gauge track.

I can think of worse things for breakfast than a few steamed prawn/vegetable-filled gyoza dumplings.

Are you in a polygonous relationship?

@skematica SanDisk now make a bumper-style iPhone 6/6s case that incorporated additional external storage. Also, an external battery can be clipped to the back of the case.

@skematica Which is of no use if like myself and , the MacBook Air is an 11-inch model. That said, though, this 2014 MBA is already a 512 GB model as it used to belong to Apple.

@skematica It's you.

It's early spring here, I was indulging in my morning ablutions of the sit-down variety, so I closed the door to the laundry & switched o a fan heater as it was a tad chilly in the smallest room. The cat came over, looked at the closed door and started getting a bit upset. I'd closed her exit to the cat door leading outside from the laundry. Clearly she felt if I was ?-ing, she should do the same, but how to get to the pet door and outside?
Eventually she went around the long way, through open doors and doorways from toilet to bathroom to corridor to loungeroom to kitchen then to the laundry and outside.
