program icons
I knew that the met office was on the machine, but could not find the icon. I could start the program from other places, could not get an icon on the main screen which I could start.
What you do is to start it, then get to the screen which shows what is running, and then drag the icon of what is running onto which ever screen you like.
So simple, though hard to explain.

Out of date stock.
Everyone seems to be selling soon to be out of date stock.
I do wonder what the criteria are for these timings, and what are the limits for these. For instance does the real shelf life vary due to external weather conditions.Does it allow for poor handling in transit? What sort of margin of error do they add. Do they assume a cool downstairs storage room?
I am basically happy in normal weather to eat things a week after purchase. That is before the next routine purchase.
This has basically worked fine, and no major upset.
So if now someone goes ill, but not all the household, is one right to think that it must be something else? I think so, but it does make one a little nervous.

COVID jab
I had an upto date covid jab at Paydens. All very simple and low key. Left arm, no trouble.

two sim cards
covid
Having new jab at paydens tomorrow at 9.30. Will be interesting to see how good they are.
Maybe T could make it here, walking. It is not much further than Mathews.
M
sims
Everything seems fine. Alllocated slightly different tasks, so spreading bandwidth between different routes ir allocations. So potentially more robust and faster than just one sim.

fitting sims
The tray on poco is not symetrical in the way you might expect. It is rotationally so.
Hence I messed around a bit before getting it right. I have started machine up and things seem fine. Lets hope so.
M
poco sims
I knew that poco could theoetically take 2 sims, but the çard holder seemed only to take a sim and a memory card.
How dumb I was. You can fit a sim in the memory slot by rotating 90 degrees. Looks strange but works fine.
I am going to fit 2 sim cards into the machine, and use memory stick else where.

pruning
Dead twigs and branches annoying me out side sitting room window. Going to snip them.

rubber bands
Shops in TW are much worse than they used to be. No rubber bands anywhere, as well.
I guess eBay is a much better bet as first port of call
Though I did find one at the bus stop in Tonbridge today.
M
now
Is name of the welsh mobile phone company. Is this north wales? And then what?

Peat
J has put lots of peat like material on the front bed. No allowance for the concrete dam. I wonder if it will be washed away, as weather forecast is not good. He really has no idea.

bad design
The sim page in settings for this phone show 2 slots for the sim cards. Now the chip can itself handle two channels, and one is tempted to get confused since there is only one sim card slot.
The software does not change its looks based on what the chip can do. You instintively look for a second slot.
The design looks as if people did not expect such rapid developments.

609
Is the mysterious 609 mobile number now in the google mobile laptop?
Of all things, I found a backup message on poco bsckup system that implied this.
begs question how many portables have sim cards.
This could actually be a good thong to make use of, with the laptops being more permanent.
M
earpieces
May require a sim card working. I was playing with it, and took the sim out, and the got messed up. Still trying to repair.
Also had issues with some poco internet storage, 5 gig and not enough. Will tinker with that.
M
new phone
I think I might by a new phone with two SIM cards in it. Or more if possible.
M
long chat
About family.
Peggy preferring P & C upbringing of children is rather revealing.
She would have been disappointed.
M
bread failure
I dont have much idea what happened, but the bread did not rise. Unleven bread is a new experience, and could be better. Far too solid.

next door back
Sha next week
My guess that it would be a bum injection this week was wrong.
Next week I have an appointment with sha at 9.30 to start this off.
So slow

NHS system failure
Tried to get in, but failed when it tried to confirm who I was using a text to ....609.
I think I am now stuck again.
This is not a well designed system.
M
work at Robs
Something happening, but not sure what. It was late afternoon, so will find out tomorrow, after my bum jab session.
M
no key
Went to fives without my keys. Luckily T understood the telephone call, and doorbell ringing, and soon let me in. Gareth was my able assistant.
M
update problem
Seems as if there is some problem with a system update. No idea where the problem is. I will close and restart.
I also allowed it to use phone connection. This followed various failures. It now seems to have worked.
No idea what the issue was. I have cut off the phone update route again, because I dont want to pay extra.
