Apple support renewed

Filed under: diary — Trefor Davies @ 9:58 am

Apple support renewed for the macbook. Nobrainer really. When something goes wrong it is expensive. Cancelled it for the iPad some time ago. Rarely gets used.

Interestingly, I then got an email from Apple telling me that the support had been purchased from a device that has never been used for this purpose. The very same device that the support is for. Nowt so queer as software.

So started the day with a simple bit of sourdough toast with butter and marmalade. Then had another. One piece of toast breaketh not the fast. Won’t keep you going until lunchtime. Two might. Depends how big the piece of toast is I guess. Mine have to be able to fit into the toaster which limits the size. Could do them under the grill like in the old days but toaster is easier. 

It’s a crap toaster though. Mentioned that before. THG has been on at me to let her know what to get me for my upcoming birthday. A serrated grapefruit spoon didn’t seem to keep her happy and they come in packs of six anyway and I only need the one. A new toaster might do the job. However the process of trying to identify a replacement is mind blowing. Every “best toasters” article comes up with different toasters and when you drill down to customer reviews they all have very variable results. I think I’ll just stick to the grill.

Nipped out to buy a pork pie for lunch. The simple things in life. Pork pie and English mustard. Moutard Anglaise. Doubt they ever call it that but ya never know. Also a small lump of cheddar and a couple of my home pickled onions. Didn’t need to buy those. Already had them in.

Waitrose was out of Thai Green Curry paste. Must have had a run on it. Maybe there’d been a cookery programme on the telly with a section on how to make thai green curry. Perfectly plausible. You’d think the buyers at Waitrose would keep an eye on the tv listings specifically to anticipate these bursts of demand. Honestly.
