I learnt today that when you are on a high following an afternoon coffee and a passionfruit-mango iced tea, you make impulsive purchases for yourself. šŸ˜‚

I just watched The Menu with @NTKF and strongly recommend it! Witty, creative, amusing and disturbing!

I can confirm that @NTKF is a smart cookie. She suggested that we bring our old records back to life with a new Audio Technica turntable, then download @rogueamoeba’s app Airfoil to send the audio across the house to the HomePod stereo pair. Analogue made digital—sounds great!

I continue to be impressed by Moment lenses… currently experimenting with this macro one on my iPhone 13 mini. Good fun!

Listeners of @HemisphericViews know that I love to think about music and use old iPods. Since getting the 6th gen. iPad mini, I have to say that it’s my favourite device for browsing my music collection—streaming to HomePods and displaying lyrics, it’s a little armrest jukebox.

Yesterday was Mac’s first visit to an Apple Store! He loved the Today at Apple area; at the time it was essentially a deserted playground of crates and balls for him to crawl through and push around. šŸ˜‚

Thanks to @NTKF for taking the photo and for a lovely Fathers’ Day.

It’s great that our neighbour puts so much effort into the garden alongside our shared driveway, so that I can just take photos of the flowers.
