19th November, 2021.
Yep: stuff’s happening …
Firstly? I’m going to thank Matt, over on Facebook.
He was as good as his word, and managed to drop off an old monitor to me, last night.
Something I’ve been wanting to use for my old Mac mini, the one I nicknamed Bruce, for a while now.
The thing works.
It’s just a shame I get the dreaded folder/question mark symbol that tells me the hard drive’s got issues!
It may just mean I need to do a lot of jumping about to see what I can do about it: or, at least, whether I can get hold of a powered optical drive, to reinstall the operating system.
It’s not why I’m busy, today.
I’ve got to get hold of kidney beans, today: and some chopped tomatoes.
I’m planning to make chilli con carne, at some point.
I got everything, yesterday.
Bar chopped tomatoes and kidney beans!
I’ve got to do that, after eleven today.
First off? My landlord’s pest controller’s due at ten.
AND I’ve got a phone meeting with the Job Centre: about a mandatory scheme they want to do.
THEN I have to buy the beans and tomatoes: and be back by three.
When Apple’s due to phone about my MAIN Mac’s inability to announce the time … !

JUST as a final thought … ?
The Today Programme’s interviewing various talking heads: about the lack of staff in the NHS.
Frankly?
Rejoining the EU — so we can hire/rehire all of the medical staff whose qualifications we used to recognise, only a few short years ago — seems like a bloody good idea.
Heigh ho!
