    Apple 6 watch which I’m picking up latter today ,it was far easier to order online , (saves spending to long in store ) Apple sent me a text to inform it’s packed ready to come in and pick up at the time I clicked suited me ....so I’ll have a new “toy” latter to learn how it works / I believe from the email I got to,say it’s ready that they will set it up for me in store.

    I went to the one and only Apple store in Adelaide last week to get a watch but there’d sold out ,they are practicing good hygiene ,you have to line up outside in a fenced off area have your temp taken / use hand sanitiser / put a mask on and wait till the Apple employee comes out and asks what they can help you with

    I bought a book that was first given to me as a gift 78 years ago, when I was six.

    It's Robert Louis Stevenson's "A Child's Garden of Verses".

    I may have commented before that when my mother passed away, the only thing I wanted were the books I grew up reading. Some of them were actually still in her possession.

    Not only do these books contain great memories for us, but they played a huge part in forming our identities and our intellect.

    I just ordered online via Amazon.com a big jug of Tide liquid laundry soap and 24 House Blend PEET's Coffee K Cups. Both will be delivered Saturday.

    My husband ordered 2 new batteries for my MIL's electric scooter from Amazon on Wednesday and they arrived today. Those suckers are heavy.

    So you have a brand and a size you know will fit you?

    I've always struggled with buying online clothes.

    I seldom have any issues with fit; I wear a 7M in almost all shoes with no problem. For clothing I usually check the garment measurements if I'm not familiar with the brand. I also shop with merchants who have a liberal return policy, or order from retail websites (Macy's, Nordstrom, etc) that have stores locally so I can return stuff to the store without hassle.

    I've commented that I shopped at Penney's all the time. The quality of what I've purchased online for what I thought to be a like-kind product was sadly lacking.

    Maybe I should go to Macy's. There's still one in Charlottesville. I used to buy my suits there.

    Bought a new shredder from Amazon for $34 and hope it will last longer than the previous one which broke down because of a paper clip not removed. :D Actually I'd need a heavy-duty one because I'll have to get rid of bank statements and similar stuff going back to the mid-90s but this one isn't. It will take me a while I suppose.
