I still have loads of ‘antique’ IT gear that I’m slowly working through and discarding (the worst of it anyway). However one or two gems are emerging. For example, I just found what looks like a BlueTooth transmitter dongle in the midst of all the junk I’ve collected. Might be able to use it on … More Digging through the archives

Ok, I admit I’ve not been exactly diligent in writing new posts. Partly because I got it into my head I need to add photos or something to make the page more ‘interesting’. Thing is nobody but myself and a few family will ever read any of it anyway so if it doesn’t really need … More Back to basics.

Used some of this on our 12 year old cat, Millie. She was being treated for heart issues but was in good physical shape, overall. Within seconds of putting the stuff on her shoulder blades, she collapsed and sadly died several hours later. I’d suggest being *very* wary of using this product on any cats … More Revolution Plus for Cats

The daughter needed to go to WSU Hawksbury Campus on Tuesday (16th) to collect a book she needed that had been sent there for her, so off we went. Luckily… sarcasm… it was *pouring* and we were in a bad mood even before we left the house. Still, despite having to walk around three sides … More Day out with Summer

Had one or two connetion issues… caused by it needing a full battery before it would pair with anything 🙂 Anyway, got it charged and connected it to both the Pixel phone and Samsung tablet. The only other thing that can cause problems is that I have clumpy … More Testing out the new keyboad.

This is making it hard for the wife who is already getting bored with the meals on offer. Of course, the alternative … More More on “dye it” etc.

My youngest daughter kindly bought me a book called “One Photo a Day – for 100 days”. The idea being, obviously, to add 100 photos to the book one for each day. I tried to make a start yesterday but found a problem fairly quickly. What was the problem? I found… I had no appropriate … More The photo book.

So just before Christmas 2020 I weighed in at a massive 155 kilos, which is nearly 25 stones in old money. This is possibly the heaviest I’ve ever been and the additional weight brought with it a host of health issues such as severe pains in my hips and knees. Also my arteries began to … More Essersice and dye it…

The blog is supposed to be what the name suggests… a ‘weblog, i.e. a form of electronic diary where you can store ideas, notes memories and items of personal interest. I tend to forget tho that this is why it’s here and ramble off in all sorts of other directions that have little to do … More Back to basics.

Seems the phone app will become very useful just by itself, with or without voice! I can be out and about, take a picture, and as can be seen the “Ouch” post below, immediately upload it to a blog post. Nice.
