Re: What have you just bought?
Bought some Ezviz indoor cameras. Since I became ill I worry about the other halfs welfare and what's gonna happen when I'm no longer here to protect him.
For £21 they r amazing. I put a 64gb memory card into all 3 and they work a treat and great image quality even in low light.

Some bedding plants: A 4 pack of Asiatic lily's from Sainsbury's. Not had these before but the illustration looks good.

Re: What have you just bought?
Lidl had 64Gb USB memory sticks on sale a while back at £9.99. So many were stolen that they were withdrawn from sale. But now the empty pack must be taken to till to get the sticks, and now they are £4.99 (2 2.0 ones or 1 3.2 ones).

Re: What have you just bought?
A good quantity of biltong, droewors, boerewors
I would have bought more meats but if it arrived a little late we would have to eat it all quickly as it may not still be frozen when delivered.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition.
Got three holidays in North Cyprus planned between now and September, and I normally read books on my iPad, but it’s not optimal in very bright sunlight, so bought a Kindle.

Re: What have you just bought?
Calcium carbonate antacids have been impossible to find. But suddenly they appeared in Morrisons, but more than double the price of a year or so ago. Boots say they have them, but when the lad asked for them, he was told they haven't had any for ages.

Just take half a tea spoon of bi carb in half a cup of water or very weak orange squash.
But if it's a big problem, see your GP and get it looked at. Maybe need prescription meds such as Omeprazole or something. But again if it's problem, get it seen to.

Re: What have you just bought?
New shape Renault Clio MediaNav tce, in black.
Tired of the running and fuel costs of my aging Mondeo 2.2 Titanium X tdci so I replaced it with the Clio. Nowhere near as powerful (173bhp, now down to 100bhp) but it’s zero tax, much more modern, fuel efficient and now a tankful will last me several weeks instead of just over a week.

I was warned off Bicarb decades ago due to the sodium (salt) content.

I have Omeprazole as required on an open prescription, but I only take a dose once or twice every few months. The GP prefers that I occasionally take a Calcium antacid as required, with Omeprazole the next day if acid reflux continues. Plus is it a useful source of calcium as I rarely consume any dairy products.
My wife has to take daily aspirin to thin her blood, so had omeprazole to counteract its effects on stomach acid. After many years dosing with it, she broke her arm at the beginning of COVID, and tests showed that she has low bone density. This rang bells, as omeprazole is thought to reduce calcium, increasing the risk of bone density dropping. So she had to take Calci-D to increase her calcium levels. Even that almost totally vanished from stocks due to companies not being able to source Calcium Carbonate.

My 2019 Dacia Logan 2 has Renault's 0.9 TCe engine. It's quite pokey around urban areas. I only get about 33mpg though, due to mostly being stuck in 3rd gear in the blanket 20mph area we live in.

Re: What have you just bought?
Yep that’s the engine. Impressive pull on it around town and does pretty well on the motorway too when I drive to that tall building opposite Cineworld down your way. Eco Mode is saving me a fortune now
