Putting my CDs in alphabetical order. The cases I have do not have spines so it's difficult to find the one I want. Making these cards reminded me of my primary school teaching days. #physicalmedia 🙃

Rest in peace Age of Empires. Can't get it to install either on a Windows 10 installation, or using Virtual Box. Time to give it up as a lost cause & find something similar on XBox One, if there is one.

I become even more mature mid-week next week. Considering offering myself this lamp to help me get up & running reading, on the sofa rather in bed. Another frugal week on the food front, but I'll be stoked to get it. 38€ . Shall I bite the bullet & do it?!

Received a letter today from the Inland Revenue Department in NZ saying that they owe me 8 cents. Thanks guys. Just wondering how much the letter cost to post!

Son & I went down to the local spring (St Maurice, the patron saint of our village) to wash our respective #ponamu in the running water. Washed each other's & then put them back around each other's necks.
