A tie-dyed hoodie (which I won't wear until next year's cooler weather) and a black pair of gym pants. Both from the Salvos for less than $10.

I have a feeling I'll be the same as I tried the hoodie on and it felt so soft and comfortable. I can't wait for winter. :)

Was it busy? I can imagine such a place would be popular here.

I bought Kayleigh some speakers for her second computer. They're her Christmas present.

Replaced my old Pixel with a new one. s
I'm thinking of getting one of those. I've had my Huawei since 2018 and I've had no trouble with it at all. Screen is fine, no burn in and it charges quickly. And I only have to charge it every three days with normal use.

So what's your new Pixel like?

It's not unlike the old one, but it's faster, has more storage space, more AI, more everything. I charge it once every 30 hours or so, with my usual usage, but I can obviously drain it a lot faster by running graphic-intensive stuff or the GPS a few hours.

The selling point for me is the Android experience with the Pixels. I've had Samsungs in the past but they tend to be bloated and inconsistent, whereas a Pixel - all Pixels I've owned - provide a consistent approach. Some apps will misbehave because that's the nature of Android, but the OS and any app that actually follows the guidelines will be fine. You get something approaching the consistency of Apple but without the lock-in.

I like it. Not sure I agree with the pricing level these days, but for me it's a company expense that I choose to accept.

Not really but it was a Saturday morning not long after they opened.

Bought pizza for the family. The daughter visited - she's equipped with a 6th sense.

Some marzipan which was really hard to find.   Went to multiple European and international food shops and only found it at one.  I really wanted a marzipan pig like my mother sent every year but settled on some chocolate covered candy bars
