tablet
Seriously cleared out a lot of stuff, to make the system more usable. Initially this seems to have worked well.

more capsules
Seems as if AI can get confused with time, and use out of date stuff, eg recycling ops.
Had better luck with following peoples ads, abd ended up with just taking it to a post office. I just have to flash a bar code thing.
Here's hoping

statins
Checking today if patdens has the next batch. Who knows what the ayatem is now.

badger problem
The animal, probably a badger or just possibly a fox, was at it again, emptying the caddy onto the pavement. This is despite my wedging it between the wall and the wheelie bin.
I have rigged up a method of hanging the caddy from a shelly bin handle, which should make it much more difficult to mess with.
Just hope the council collectors can cope with it.
M
difficulty speaking
Tricia had difficulty speaking today. Mixture of exhaustion, not eating enough and worrying. Better by the evening.
M
recycle coffee capsules
Waitrose claimed to know nothing in Tonbridge. Was AI dreaming?

Deaths
I guess we have been lucky to have had so few losses from our generation. I think thing are changing with Caroline and Mac in quick succession.
It is sad to loose anyone that one has been friends with, even if one has had little or no contact in recent years. But it is probably wrong to change anything. It is not always best to have updates.
And beware friends who are trying to catch up. Just continue what you are happy with.
M
T reading more
T reading much more freely, which is a huge success. She is a bit uncertain whether to use her reading glasses or not. I am not sure why, but I emphasise the fact that the body is not going to help change anything.
M
hearing aids
Changed the rubber cover and it's washer/dcap. One of the new caps fell off before fixing it, but otherwise relatively simple.
M
hard turnip cores
This says it all. I guess end of season rubbish. Will cut the remaining stock in half to aid cooking the tough bits. I ate it, but could have done better.
M
pruned the azalia
Decided that the stonework should have precidence over the azalia, and did some heavy pruning, lifting the centre of floral gravity. Some off the top, allowing some plants to grow slightly up the slope.
It is a pity that the higher fuschia is still a mess after the damage done by the collapse of a tree on the boundary. Should be much recovered by next year.
M
Rain
Lots of rain, not too heavy, not too continuous.
The ground really needed it.
Managed to shop in Tesco's before it all started.

flat battery
I am not sure that I have ever had such a flat battery. It takes any opportunity to shut down. This does not give one a chance to find out what is wrong, despite appearing to start normally.
I have been struggling.
A direct charger connector, gives it just enough to get started, and to gain confidence.
M
this system
...can get a little confused in the morning about recent additions, the the various elements can get out of sync. Nothing is lost, but it can give that impression.
It will get back to normal fairly quickly.
M
Caroline
Her death has been a bit of a shake up for T. Not surprising.
I think it will make her more determined to recover, and be more independent.
Parkinson's was the cause given.

CT scan tomorrow
Tesco
We are rather low on veg in the fridge. There is some stuff in the freezer, but a tesco visit or lidl may be in order.
M
trajectory of pigeon takeoff?
Just wondering if pigeons sitting on the bus shelter may leave their mark?
M
butterflies and swifts
Garden full of butterflies in sense that there is always visible activity. Mostly blues at the moment.
Swufts have returned to the skies, but rather few so far.

recycle metal coffee capsules
I wonder where you can recycle these unmarked capsules we got from Maidenhead when they cleared out their old machine.
Will try Waitrose.
M
more earphones
Firstly I got the ear pieces in the wrong way round. You should just look at the open box, and it is obvious.
At the moment all the stuff is coming out of the left ear, but this is a very limited test.
I now need someone to call me for real.
M
earphones
Got my ear pieces working.
It seems to be mono in the left eat at the moment for some reason.
Quite clear.
Will try and make sure it is always active.
Uses bluetooth of course.
