14th February, 2023: Silly Love Songs.
Yes: it’s officially official.
I’m expecting an early birthday present, today.
A new chair, if you’re wondering.
It should — according to the text message I’ve just received? — be with me between 15:00 and 16:00.
That’s nice to know.
Now … can someone buy me a bluray drive, please?
Mine’s having issues with macOS Ventura, after a recent update.
I can only hope that the further update — to macOS 13.2.1 — helps!

It’s time to come out of the metaphorical closet: and publicly admit I have type 2 diabetes.
I’m on a shed load of medication, as a result.
Including one called Semaglutide: a weekly injection that’s supposed to help reduce sugar levels — it does — and promote weight loss.
Handy for me, as I’m not exactly Mr Skinny!
I’ve been concerned, recently: as I, and many other diabetics on the stuff have been struggling to get hold of any.
As many … let’s call them celebrities … have been buying it in bulk: JUST to reduce weight.
Something it’s approved for in the US, but not in the UK.
At any rate … ?
It’s not necessarily easy to get … unless you get it on prescription.
And even then, it’s considered experimental.
I’m getting it — in part — to see if it can help me loss a few pounds.
As you’d expect? There’s a twist in the tail.
As — according to a BBC piece* — many High Street pharmacists have announced they’re planning to sell the stuff: at around £70 to £75 mark.
One? I’m not sure selling it to people who’ve not been diagnosed with an issue is wise: as it means less for those of us who have.
Two? I’m glad I get my prescriptions for free†: that’s a LOT of money.
