I bought a new computer mouse, after 10 years of using the a4tech bloody v8 mouse. I like to change the mouse sensitivity when playing games without going into any menus and the buttons for that on my old mouse stopped working recently, so I decided to buy a new mouse. Well, I could probably take the old mouse apart and clean/replace those buttons, but it's not worth the time and hassle.

Anyway, as I was pleased with my previous mouse from the a4tech company, I bought a yet another one from them and got the W70 Max (more advanced sensor + some other features that I don't need). My brother also got me a 30% off deal, so I paid the same money I would for another v8 mouse (they still make them).

Now, the ergonomics are a bit different, but alright. The W70 Max has got one extra button and the movement on my desk is very smooth, compared to my old mouse, but to be fair the slider pads of my old mouse are rather worn after 10 years of use. The scroll wheel also feels much nicer on the new mouse. As for the advanced sensor the operation does feel smoother and more precise, but I'd say that goes down mainly to the worn slider pads of my previous mouse.

As for those features that I don't need. The mouse does have RGB lights, ''lift off distance'' button (4 options) and ''report rate' button (4 options). Cool thing is, you don't need any software to change any of that. The question is, why would you want to customize the distance at which the mouse sensor tracking stops when you lift the mouse off the desk and why would you want to customize report rate which is, as I understand this, how many times a second the mouse checks its position. I would assume that you would want the lowest LOD and the highest report rate for the best performance.

Anyway, I bought a new computer mouse.

Second round of electrolysis (£26.50) to get rid of some of these old woman chin hairs

And yes, it fucking stings.

I had to think about pleasant places I want to visit: Italian lakes, Karakoram mountains, Samoa, Newfoundland etc, to take my mind off it but I still occasionally ended up wincing with a genteel grunt.

After 15 mins of a 20 minute session, she asked was I OK, as she was worried she was torturing me
(yes luv, you are)
But I denied it and continued concentrating on deep breathing techniques

Not interested in face lifts or duck lips, just less hair

A less painful solution might be an uplifting bra* and a plunging neckline

I after many decades of looking got an Ultrasonic bath, I actually got two, but after using a smaller 2.5 ltr one got a slightly bigger one at 6.5 ltr, and now I wish Id got one many years ago,

Had to learn about degassing and what cleaners to use if any, but it’s been a revelation for boring old me.

A rack for my Suzuki TS185. Looks alright. Primarily bought it so that I can fit a reasonable sized top box that would be handy for keeping tools and also camping equipment for greenlane holidays.
