Re: What have you just bought?
2 large packs of live Scottish mussels.
Over a third had missing half shells.

Re: What have you just bought?
Car touchup paint and a short fast charge USB C cable with a right angled connector because I hear wireless charging makes the phone hot so will always plug it in for long drives when using Android Auto navigation.

I had my first and last fountain pen 50 years ago, the primary school teacher made us use them once in a while and it was a terrible experience being left handed.

My nephew is a lefty, but he writes with his hand under the words, not like some left-handed people who write above and through what they've just written.

When I was in primary school I discovered I can write far easier with my hand above the words, that stopped all the smudging.

Re: What have you just bought?
A polycarbonate desk chair mat to go over the carpet in my new study. My desk is very nice but already full, how can a 2m x 2m L shaped desk get filled so quickly.
I thoroughly recommend Ergohide for desks. Their customer service both pre and post sales have been exemplary.

I brought privacy screen protectors for my dad's OnePlus 9 Pro and my Google Pixel 9 Pro XL from AliExpress. Those lovely Chinese people give foolproof instructions. The application is seamless.  delivered in a week may I say.
The strap also came for my Google Pixel watch 3 45mm. It's too bare bones for my liking. The Spigen strap is so much better  still nice though  |

Do you like the styling of your new A3? I have reservations for Audis styling for now. I think better is coming. |

Re: What have you just bought?
A new 5G router ZTC MC888. RouterMods do an SMA mod that allows me to fit an external antenna. Now I have seen a 5G connection go from 40 mbps to nearly 400mbos using an pole mounted antenna now I get a peak of 300 but a sustained around 170 and I can see the mast from my window so clear line of sight will be easy. The mod costs as much as the router and then there is the antenna but if I can get a sustained 400mbps it will be worth the outlay

The car tax is a bit steep at £383.35 but I thought it was going to be £600+ based on current regulations.
