Oh, how it is good to be back using a Mac – MacBook Pro and a Mac Studio, got them both setup exactly how I wanted. I didn’t expect a big leap from the M1 Max but it there is definitely a leap in performance. I’ve got Simcity running on my laptop and it is very responsive – fast graphics, nothing strange or usual when running it on macOS 26.1 (I was expecting maybe compatibility issues but it worked without a problem). I’m looking forward to macOS 26.2 being released in the coming week assuming there are no show stopper bugs along with maybe a Safari Technology Preview being released as well.

Tomorrow (Monday) I’ve got my Snakehive leather case arriving to replace the rather flimsy one I am using today – I needed something to my phone in until the one I wanted arrived. I like the wallet case because it allows me to have my wallet and phone all in one so then when I leave the home I have everything I need in one wallet.

Before heading off to bed I got the chicken out of the freezer and tomorrow I’ll head down to the supermarket with the $50 voucher I got as a prize recently and pick up a few odd bits and pieces. I’m unsure what I’ll have with the chicken although I am thinking of having some roast vegetables because it has been a while since I last had them. While I’m down there I might treat myself to a cappuccino at the mall along with maybe a muffin since it has been a while since I last had a bit of a sweet treat.

When I come home, I’ll get the chicken cooking and while that happens I’ll finally get the washing all sorted out – hopefully the weather will be fine but worst case scenario I can always dry it inside on the clothes rack and have the dehumidifier going to ensure that the house doesn’t get damp.
