Thank you DorothyMH and TopNotch . Yes DorothyMH Land Search & Rescue is one of the functions of my job. It is not necessarily a glamorous job but it can be very rewarding. Sometimes even if it is to bring closure for the family as was the case on Thursday & Friday.

What a nightmare trying to wrestle with them. I don't know who invented them but I was muttering some very unpleasant things about their heritage trying to get the blinds in and out. This task was right up there with trying to remove the sliding screen door from the French Balcony. Anyway spring cleaning done. Barbecue and beer time.

Short walk to get coffee this morning but FitBit playing up so would have trouble tracking it anyway. Anyone else have trouble with a FitBit Versa 2? My screen is fading or getting washed out with a green hue. I look after it so not sure what the problem is. It still under warranty considering I only bought it on the 3rd May. I like the feel and the comfort of it but have really bad luck with electronics. This laptop is a replacement consider the first lasted about 1-2 months before a terminal BSOD.

Anyway not a lot of exercise today as meant to be studying for upcoming work course next week. (Knew they'd throw in pre-course readings and study material). But tip of the day - don't sit in the sun with a few beers trying to study. It is too distracting. I had a little visitor on our aloe vera plant so thought I'd test out the camera my son inherited from his grandfather. His grandfather didn't think to hand over a battery charger or cords but eBay to the rescue and its up and running.
