I'm alive, in Sydney, and stuck in a hotel indefinitely until my arrival test results clear the Histopath backlog. If they clear the Histopath backlog.
I could update re many things, but here is a small thing that I am pleased with.
Problem: I keep losing bluetooth earbuds.
I upgraded my iPhone. Since I hate Apple earpods, I bought a 40-something franc set of bluetooth in-ear earbuds.
First, I lost the charging unit on a train (put a black charging unit down on a dark blue train seat). I kept the earbuds, and bought a new set, planning to alternate the earbuds in the one charging unit. Alas, I cannot find WHERE I PUT the first headphones.
I then misplaced the next set in my housesomewhere, so bought more. The second set reappeared. I set out on a plane with both sets.
Earbuds fall out of your ears when you sleep on a plane, and if they're not on a wire, they get lost. Eventually I tracked the lost one down when the guy behind me went to the loo so I could get on my hands and knees and inspect properly. Simply shining a torch down there didn't find them.
HACK: I bought bright purple nail polish, and red glitter. I've painted the outside of the earbuds themselves, and added stripes to the charging unit. Hopefully, this means that if I'm specifically searching for them, especially with a torch, they will glint. Also hopefully the colour and glitter will make them catch my eye when I'm looking around on trains / in my house.
