OK so have spent some consumer points in a very frivolous manner and bought a Chuzhao camera that I know to be a toy, thank you Spotlight and Amazon!  You can buy it from Chuzhao with a lens kit.  The lenses seem to be 17mm phone adaptor lenses.  They also sell the ring adaptor to fit the things.  In a fit of financial efficiency, the lens adaptor at a £5 purchased and an appropriate lens kit bought from Amazon with consumer points some £16 cheaper than they’d provide.  If it works this will be financial gold.

What was behind the purchase, whimsical stupidity and a desire to try something different.  In other consumer point purchases, some SD cards and some cases for a couple of planned purchases.

In other news some chasing with NHSBA.  Some anxiety from herself and lots more from me!

So today the thing arrived and first pics are here.

Making meatballs for tonights tea, starts with the shallots.

And here is the shallotecide!

What I woreWhat I wore on a day off. Cycled to the allotment. Did a few chores, put the coffee grounds round the plants. Brief chats with a few people. Then cycle back, grab a pint on the way as I was sweating buckets. Home and quick change of clothes before C gets in from her day with Vicky.

What’s this even for?What’s this even for?  Yep, that item you add to a Temu order to get the free postage! So experiment with the notion of speech to text as a form of blogging. It’s a short cut that requires an edit! Been up to the doctors to sort out meds, there is no 45mg pioglitazone, but there are some 30mg tablets. Seems a bit much that I have to inform them…. It’s things that they don’t seem to be getting right at the moment. It’s a Brexit benefit that I get to thoroughly enjoy.

Meanwhile Amazon have been busy delivering kit.  Roll on the main event!
