9kg in 90 days: Day #15 – It’s tough!
I spent much of September bringing my August excess under control. But since I started the 90 day diet… I looked at the stats: grinding the wheels!!! That’s all. The initial weight loss after contracting flu was around 1.5kgs. But I put most of that back, of course. So I started looking at what made…
Meanwhile, I have to wear these!
!the burden of varicose veins means that I need to wear tights most of the time. It’s a tropical climate so i gave up hiding them! On the plus, they aren’t uncomfortable. With shorts or loose pants, and a light breeze, they are quite fine in 30c heat. With typical pants, though, it’s not survivable…

Sports Tights or Pantyhose? I don’t care… I wear them both!

Varicose Veins and Fashion Faux Pas
My friend, Andrew, recently asked me, as we discussed variations on the theme of our own mortality, if I had any co-morbidities. This is quite the topic for these Covid-19 times as co-morbidities drive many unnecessary deaths from the virus. I reflected on my own parents’ lives and realized that both had suffered cancer at…

Transmitting Music Via Bluetooth
I finally settled on a Bluetooth transmitter/receiver, the Avantree Saturn, which could be hooked up via a typical earphone socket to almost anything. I’m not sure that the signal quality is anything to shout about, but it worked fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow2gDGoLcNc Transmits to Bluetooth speakers just fine. Took a little while to figure out the ins…
