Replace a free small unhygienic home invader with a much more expensive larger unhygienic home invader... That doesn't sound like a very logical choice to me!Get a cat 🐱

Back from hospital.
The scan was surpringly quick as they were looking for specific problems.
This was at Halton hospital and parking is excellent...... especially as MrsDs blue badge meant it was free. TBH I have never understood that as a blue badge holder may have way more money than Joe Blogs who has to pay full price.

Back from a gloriously sunny wander, spring well and truly sprung. Still no lambs though.

We had a full house again this morning.
They do at our main hospital......not sure why this is different.
You park in an appropriate bay.
Ensure your badge etc is showing properly.
Give your reg No at the desk.
Thats it.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
IMHO Samsung make great tablets. I've had Samsung for about 10 years and won't have anything else.
I'm not a fan of Kindle. They are geared for Amazon and little else. The aps on Amazon are just about useless, don't work and are very inferior to Google.
The only way to get Google on a kindle is to side load and you have to be sneaky to do it. Cheap as chips yes, but there is a reason for that. I threw my kindle away as it stopped working after 14 months I went back to good old Samsung.

Mice round here like peanut butter.
I used a desk top with a mouse for 30 years but when I use the wife's Chromebook now it is so awkward. Now I am used to a tablet.
Almost done with my 3 days of no bending, squatting or lifting over 3 pounds. My son will go home today and has been a huge help since the dog, who weighs about 9 pounds has to be carried up and down stairs 3 times during the night and 10 more during the day, plus all the other things that require lifting or bending. He came up on Wednesday.
I was seriously considering putting my aged pooch to sleep a week or so ago as she would not eat and seemed more puny every day, , but she has sprung back amazingly and is now eating like a glutton. I am sure her problems will return but I will enjoy her company until then.
Dave 7, I sure hope your wife's tests are good.
Mo, I had to google "nobber". I must assume you mean fool or uncouth lout when you use the word. Be safe and well, amigos.

I am not a fan of trackpads so I started using a wired mouse on my laptop. Yes, it was a pain having the wire getting in the way. I accidentally pulled the laptop off my lap one time and almost smashed it.
I am now using a Logitech M190 wireless mouse and that is great. My sofa has wide armrests. I put an old diary on the RH armrest and use that as a mouse mat. I don't have to switch the mouse on and off - it just wakes up when I move it and goes back to sleep when I stop. A single AA rechargeable battery is all it needs and a charge lasts me over a month.
Tablets are good. I use mine every day. I'm not a fan of typing much on them though. I use a stylus on mine rather than my finger. I think this new tablet must have a coating on the screen to reduce the problem of greasy fingerprints because it doesn't suffer from that problem as much as my old tablet did, but I got used to the stylus.
I hope your pooch makes it through at least another few months in good shape, and ideally into next year and beyond.
I went to visit my older sister just before Christmas and her dog seemed happy enough then but got taken ill very early in the New Year. The vet did some scans and found massive tumours all over the dog's body. It didn't seem kind or sensible to inflict multiple surgeries on an old dog which almost certainly wouldn't recover anyway so she was put down there and then. Shockingly sudden, but it did mean that she only suffered for a couple of days in total.
