I had a 486 with 4MB of RAM back in '93. Today, I noticed that ONE tab out of 15 in my browser is taking 438MB of ram. All by itself. Guys, we truly live in the future. Or something.

Shelves mounted and filled.
I am knackered!!

Good morning to the Ikea delivery guys who delivered my order at 7.11 am!

Now... I have work to do!
Let the electric screwdriver be charged and the shelves will be ready before the rest of the family is even up!

"This anti-ageing effect was strongest in expert tango dancers, whose brains were, on average, seven years younger than their chronological age." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Creative hobbies could slow brain ageing at the molecular level

To keep the mind young, dance the tango.
