On the home front

​I’m pleased to say I have been a good girl and resting. Well as much as I can

Yesterday I went into Cranbourne for coffee and catchup. I had too. If I cancelled again they would be here dragging me out 

After coffee I had to go and get my talons redone. It’s been well over a month and I was starting to look the one of MacBeths witches. Well how I imagine their hands look like 

After that I ran into the reject shop and then headed home. 

As I was getting into the car I got a notification in my phone saying I had a package to collect from the post office 

My faithful, traveled the world with me iPad had finally gone terminal. 

After ten beautiful years I had to admit defeat and purchase a new one. 

I dragged hubby with me and headed off. 

Now the reason I took hubby is this. I always will go the cheaper way which not only means I’ll go for the slightly less memory, or last years model or just take whatever they have in stock. 

I started off true to form. 

I didn’t get the cheapest but I did go for the middle model 

Hubby said that we are spending all that money and since I’m so good about looking after my things I should go for the top model with the most memory. 

So we did. Then the really lovely sales man asked what colour I preferred. 

I answered what ever is in stock. Well they don’t have stock and they will order it in. 

Only one colour could be ordered into the shop. The other colours were online only. The colour available in the shop was blue. And honestly I’d of been quite happy with it. But since it had to be ordered anyway I chose pink. 

Well why wouldn’t you. That was the package at the post office 

I started to move all my apps and information onto it yesterday. But something went wrong. 

This morning I turned it off and back on to try again 

Success. 

Well it says it’s downloading as I type 

Here’s hoping it finishes correct. I then have to take it back to the store so they can change the SIM card over. 

They no longer have physical SIM cards they have eSIM. I have no idea how to move that over. So the lovely salesman said they will do it for me 

So that’s where I’m at with that little adventure 

Meanwhile my little, again faithful, slow cooker has a crack in the ceramic bowl. 

It’s not right through but it definitely will get there in the near future. 

So onto Amazon I go. 

I found quite a few in that size. Brilliant 

Now I could have gone with another plain white one around the $90 to $100 depending on the brand 

But they had a pretty little Laura Ashley one for $125 

Guess which one I purchased 

I fought the impulse to get the cheaper one. They do after all work the same way. But I heard hubbys words in my head. 

You look after thins and they last. 

Lash out and get the one you want 

I’m taking that as personal growth 

By the way I used AI to add the background to that photo. 

Another, can’t fight it any longer moment 

I’m embracing our future. 

I hope John Conner with forgive me
