A couple of tear ago I bought two electric throw blankets, one for myself, the other for my mother, who always complained about the cold. Now she’s in aged care, she has no use for it, because the facility doesn’t allow such things. Yesterday mine stopped working, hers was available so I’m using it now.
The local shopping mall has a baby change room.
So if you don't like the baby you have…
Got my new credit card today But the only thing I can buy with it is coffee… Stupid American Espresso Card..
Apple's all-in-one gift card is now available in Canada and Australia.
In July 2020, Apple introduced a new all-in-one gift card in the United States that combines previously separate Apple Store and iTunes gift cards into one, and the combined gift card is now available in Canada and Australia as well.
The new Apple Gift Card can be applied towards "everything Apple," including purchases of Apple products and accessories, App Store apps, iTunes Store content like TV shows and movies, services like Apple Music and Apple Arcade, iCloud+ plans, and more. The gift card is available on Apple's website in digital and physical versions, with the physical card sent by mail including a collectible Apple logo sticker available in five designs.

Yesterday I visited my mother in the aged care facility where she now resides. Before that, I was driving past her empty house & dropped in for a cup of tea & a toilet visit.
My sister’s car was in the driveway, she left it there before taking a train, bus & plane trip to New Zealand for a short holiday.
In addition there were four shopping bags, left there by an idiot from one of the two local supermarkets, it was a home delivery gone wrong, having been dropped off at the wrong address.
I found paperwork in one of the bags, indicating an address one block away, so I delivered the bags to the intended recipient.
He was happy to get his order, although it was three days late. He’d received a text message from the delivery driver saying the packages had been delivered but he simply couldn’t see them anywhere!
He went on to say it was unfortunate that he’d have to throw out various perishables like meat & some vegetables to be on the safe side as they’d been unrefrigerated for those three days.
@matigo Giving serious consideration in switching to Ocenaudio in place of Audacity.

Yesterday I collected a small box of mixed vegetables from a non-profit produce market operator. You can get four different sized boxes from small ($20); medium ($30); large ($40) or extra large ($60). You have no say in the contents other than choosing fruit & veg; veg-only or fruit-only. They also have free-range eggs.
I chose vegetables-only, here’s what was in it: carrots, corn, capsicum, turnip, potatoes, sweet potato, cucumber, tomato, leek, onion, parsnip, zucchinis, eggplant, cauliflower & cabbage. I also added a dozen 50 gram eggs.
The photo shows all but the eggs, they’re hiding under the cabbage & cauliflower. All produce is top quality, no 2nd-grade supermarket rejects here. Later today I’ll be making a big pot of vegetable soup, once I get some celery to add to the mix.
Was chatting with a guy in the changerooms after my exercise routine at the leisure centre pool earlier today. He said “did you ever work for Telstra*?”
I replied in the affirmative. I looked closer & recognised him as one who’d been in the same workgroup as myself for 10 years from 1989.
