Geektastic: That here in Portugal I’m considered mature enough to have beer with my McDonald’s meal!

This is now pretty advanced for a kid's meal. 😉😄

That I have just been asked to upgrade a 73 year old lady's IT to an i5-12, iPad, iPhone and new inkjet printer for the next few years at her request (at no profit as I don't deal in h/w). She is quite fit in IT and extremely happy that she is well supported and can be on the internet safely and stress free. She is a retired teacher and rails against her current younger colleagues, whose shortcomings have been mercilessly exposed by Covid19. 🤣

Sunday afternoon nap. It wasn't that long ago it was inconceivable for me to consider such a thing let alone be relaxed enough to have one. 

Going for a walk with only my cellular Apple Watch for company for the first time and knowing I wasn't uncontactable. 

It's...liberating! But I missed some photo ops at the beach...I'll take my phone next time.

Wondering what toys you might get with a Happy meal. 🍆🥒🍡

Geektastic: I went to some Roman ruins today.

I saw original Roman fountains working in an excavated villa. They are entirely original, using original plumbing and 2000 years old! The only modern part is the pump.

Amazing.

This is an annoy for me. Kea should win Bird of the Century.

Roman ruins are so impressive. The ones we went to this year in south west Türkiye were really cool, especially in Pamukkale

Geektastic:

They are. We grew up with them in the UK and several major highways still follow the original Roman routes (easily spotted on the Ordnance Survey maps as they are dead straight for miles!) and towns like Bath and Cirencester have interesting ruins.

There was even an Iron Age hill fort not far from where I grew up.

I’ve never seen genuinely original working Roman fountains though!! I stood there in the villa thinking “I’m seeing exactly what that villa owner saw 2000 years ago!!”

We not only have Roman ruins … if you are interested. This once was called „Rome north of the alps“. This is the wider area where I grew up.

Wow. Did you get to talk to any of the inhabitants? 😇🤣😂

Attending a concert and having the artist play your favourite of their tracks, considered to be a B track and not usually performed.
