While writing that last post (and reading the sources) Evri delivered a parcel. At 24-to-midnight (11:36pm). That is either really good service or really bad service. I am just glad I was up so it did not spend all night sat outside a front door that opens directly onto the street.

It turns out to be a 19th century method for forging iron by metallurgist Gustaf Ekman who had visited forges in England.

It has been several months since I last rode the bike, and I have just been on a literally 100 yard journey to the nearest mechanic to get the brake fixed and an MOT. Then I will need to get a new front tyre, then tax and insurance is due. Then I will be ready for the winter riding season!

The chemists used to place prescriptions in bins alphabetized by name, and all was good. But a few years ago it switched to numbered bins assigned at random, and twice in the past couple months I had prescriptions go missing so they had to search all the bins. What a strange thing to have done.

This is unwantedly (and unwontedly) exciting, a power cut! I am supposed to be on a priority register for information as I need to keep insulin in the fridge, time to see how well that works.

I sometimes play the Geoguessr Sweden map for free, taking as long as it takes to keep a perfect score because exploring is fun, but today I messed up by one unnamed way on the Mittuniversitet campus and lost a point. Also I broke a tooth eating falafel so that is gone too. Not the best of days.

Of course those projects will now both be interrupted by making tea and watching netball. Which collectively is somewhat overloading.

U21 netball is not going to be high budget, but there are no commentators on the second games with Samoa vs Scotland looking like it is being shot on a 1990s web cam. Australia vs Northern Ireland visually looks good, but is more difficult to watch being 42–7 at half time so fuzzy picture it is.

Always good when the commentary (on netball) begins with one saying to the other"so this is your first time watching netball".

I have a lot of instruments for someone who cannot play any instrument: some. I decided on a whim to turn on my old childhood Yamaha keyboard I was sent years ago when my parents clear the loft before moving house. It turns on, but makes no sound. Which is disappointing but probably for the best.

As much as social media is pretty much my connection with the world, it is all just so horrible right now that I am barely here.
But from tomorrow and for the next week-and-a-bit you can escape the world with a lot of free U21 netball on YouTube.

Tesco is advertising it being 30 years of its Clubcard without mentioning that an extortionist forced its introduction and was entrapped by it, before another attempt five years later, in what Wikipedia calls "incidents".
The second attempt is quite a story

The second attempt is quite a story
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesco_b...
![A Wikipedia screenshot that reads:
Incidents
In January 1995, Frank Riolfo, a former lance-corporal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, extorted Tesco, forcing the introduction of the previously trialled discount card. After first contaminating food with (what turned out to be fake[4]) HIV-infected blood in a store in Kettering, Riolfo demanded payment via Tesco's new loyalty card system.
He specified that the cards were to contain magnetic strips, allowing them to function secretly as ATM cash withdrawal cards. Coded copies of the PIN code were published under his instruction in national newspapers. Clubcard was subsequently launched nationally with a Direct Marketing campaign by Evans Hunt Scott, Terry Hunt's advertising agency.
Customers, including Riolfo's wife, signed up to the scheme and collected a card. Riolfo and his wife then toured the country withdrawing a total of £7,500 cash on 73 occasions until they were eventually caught on 22 April 1995. Frank Riolfo pleaded guilty and was jailed for six years, after appeal. The loyalty card scheme was not discontinued, with Tesco already planning to roll out the trial before the incident.
In the end of 2000, Robert Edward Dyer made a similar attempt at extortion involving Clubcards with a magnetic strip for ATM withdrawals. Dyer sent several letter bombs, one of which exploded when the recipient opened it, before being arrested in February 2001.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2exi6hztyodnm4tixzt7mnak/bafkreid6gea5k7noj5dc4evqyee5iza2cj3plgmvtfjylimgpnxqguzwvu@jpeg)

I like that LKAB (the state owned mining company responsible for the church move) is calling it Den stora kyrkvandringen [The great church migration] after älgvandringen (the one with the elk and the river) while SVT is boringly calling it Den stora kyrkflytten [The great church relocation].

Australia is a member of Asia Netball and not the Oceania Netball Federation, and I cannot find out why. I understand why it moved continents in soccer, but Oceania is much stronger in Netball. I do not understand the world.
