Went out thrift shopping yesterday and picked up some computer peripherals.

Logitech MX5000 wireless keyboard.
Not many of these around as they were Hickspensive!

The next Thrift shop revealed the appropriate matching wireless mouse the MX5500 (M-RCL 124 ) but unfortunately not it's charging dock and a bit like the keyboard very rare so the hunt is on for a charging base.




EDIT

Here is what I am after if any one has one lying around.

In the process of doing our basement bathroom so many trips to Home Depot and I just ordered more things on Amazon. I should have taken a picture before I started as there was no tile and it was very ugly. Still a lot to do and it’s tough with the heat and still not feeling that great but I am on a mission to have this done midweek or prior edit credit to my wife she did a Home Depot run for me after work last night and got some crucial parts.

Can you actually leave that outside unlocked up. Where I work it would be gone in two minutes it’s amazing the amount of bikes people try to sell me as I walk down the street.

Not today, but recently bought a planter for the back deck, and we assembled it (with Remi's "help" of course)...



Better shot of it outside...



It has a built in water reservoir underneath, and there's a little float in the fill tube to let you know when it needs water. It also drains excess automatically when it rains a lot. My wife just ordered another one - hope to have these full of veggies in a month or so...

Just an update on these planters...in this one we have already cycled through a bunch of lettuce, plus we have sage in this one, a very large cherry tomato plant, and 2 bell pepper plants...



First pepper for lunch...it was so much better than the flavourless stuff at the store...



And the other planter is nothing but Roma tomatoes...



These planters are excellent!

I was just back, I do lock it up, although things aren't too bad where we live, no point taking chances.

For the first time in over 30 years....Birkenstocks. It's a hot summer, most sandals are meh, and wearing my outside Vans in the house is verboten. Black leather, of course. They'll look great with my black motorcycle jacket.

And no, never ever with socks.

Never heard of Welsh whisky but it had a good write up so I thought I’d try a bottle 🙄

That is an interesting looking machine. Do you display it in your home?
