Mothers Day 2020

This photo from yesterday when we visited the folks at Springvale cemetery where ET did her usual thing with four bunches of flowers for both our mums.

Sadly the cemetery is being over run by Asians Sad smile

To give you some idea I call this ‘Row 1992’; people put to rest Circa 1990.
From here on to the right there are no English letters or numbers to be seen!

BlitzWolf BW-HL2 smart watch - 2

As posted I am mainly interested in the notifications side of things, in particular promptly responding to enquires from Al's Workshop or Markeplace. Feeling a bit more comfortable now that I found a review that reports on this in more detail.

BlitzWolf® BW-HL2 smart watch - 1

Just purchased this off BangGood.

This is mainly for Al’s Workshop – why it that?

I need to watch out for and promptly respond to my customers so came up with idea of a smart watch in particular for the notifications and messaging features. I will now be able to move around freely and stay in touch; providing of course I stay within Bluetooth range of the phone.

Stay tuned…

CANON PIXMA iX6860 A3+ Home Office Printer–setup

Unboxed and setup the printer downstairs in my study. The CD install is very straightforward; opted for LAN connection and at one point prompted to press one of the two buttons and count 11 flashes and release - LAN setup complete.

Using Holly's entry foyer IP camera to monitor the printing progress.

Todays ‘essential’ shopping trip

Carefully planned the round trip:

  • Picked up the Canon A3 printer from Scorptec
  • KFC for lunch
  • Bunnings for MDF and paint primer
  • Dropped off ET’s chicken soup to a isolated old person (doing our bit)
  • Finally OfficeWorks for A3 copy and photo paper, spray on adhesive and Powerbank for the new 'limited edition' Batman wall light

Then home.





I'll go down later to my study and setup the new printer - right there in that spot.

Tickled pink that it even has a LAN connection and…the Telstra Smart Modem has one vacant port left. Will also run USB to the study Windows 10 desktop PC.

Another new toy for kitties.
