No, we're still in the Dark Ages over here. Some live in caves and rub sticks to make fire . . .
Thanks for the YT link, I'll take a look now.

Been looking to get a new Tassimo machine and had one in my Amazon list which was around £80. Looked this morning and it's now £34!
Have you checked Tassimo's own prices? We had to replace ours a few weeks back (bar code reader window fnurked!) and Tassimo were the cheapest place to get the replacement

I treated myself to a Trek District+5 XL for my early retirement. It should have been 5k, but because it was last year's model with a 725wh battery instead of the newer 800wh, it was reduced by £1750. I have done 272 miles in 28 days so far. Had to go for +5 has it has a higher weight carrying capacity.
I got it to replace a 10 year old model with over 4000 miles on it. I was ahead of the curve, got my first ebike 17 years ago.
I have got to admit that the Trek is the best I've had, it has the CVT gears (fully automatic) and the problem I had buying ebikes was getting one big enough for me. I'm 6'2" so the Trek XL is a perfect fit, I dare say I might have managed with a large, but I would probably had to have the seat post up 4/5".

Today is a milestone for my wife and I. Last year we got our GOG (genuine old git) bus passes, today we used them for the first time. We parked at Bluewater shopping centre and took the bus to Dartford, where we bought some quality, fruit, veg, spices and a couple of Polish Pilsner beers from an International shop. We had a good walk around and then came home, before it got too hot. It was an adventure which we both enjoyed, so we will have get a bit braver next time and try further afield.

My normal rounds are between 12 and 20 points - mainly at the lower end!
It was 7 nett birdies/eagles with one blob and a nett single bogey.
The course is only a 33 par 9 holes (with a few extra tee spots for s slightly different "back 9") and about 2 1/2 - 3 miles around it (depending on zig-zags...)
Typically, I hadn't signed in to the computer so the score's non-counting. My usual first-round-after-holiday is up in the mid 50s rather than low 40s and it was a social, hybrid (stroke and matchplay) round.
Expecting normal service to resume on Thursday!

Following on from yesterday, I bought a couple of cans of beer in the international shop 568ml can of Kalnapilis Grand Select, from Lithuania, which turned out to be a very good, pilsner style continental beer. It was £2.59, so not cheap, but very good VFM. It reminded me a lot of the German and Austrian beers I had back in Salzburg, Vienna and Regensburg, back in 2017 and 2019, pre pandemic.

I like a nice Chianti

It was our 9th wedding anniversary recently but as Mrs WW is abroad looking after her mam there wasn't a great rush to find a card and a present, she did say she didn't want any presents but I can't resist buying a few token things. Willow is apparently a traditional 9th present so I ordered what I thought was a willow bead bracelet off Etsy, it came late but as there's no rush I wasn't bothered. When it came I saw it's the length of a necklace but I think the idea is that you wrap it around your wrist a few times, I did see the picture on the website but I hadn't realised. Honestly it's gorgeous, I'm really pleased with the quality. They do say on the website that the bracelets are really just a sampler for their beads but the quality is IMO outstanding and to me it looks like it should cost multiples of the price I paid.
Anyway. I'm very happy with it and I've contacted them to ask if they'll do a smaller bracelet to just go once around a wrist to make a necklace and bracelet set. Just in case anyone wants to see their website I've included it below. I'm hoping the name appeals to Mrs WW as her late father was a gem dealer.
