I had a nice sleep in this morning, woke up, had breakfast then pottered around the house doing the usual house keeping such as washing down the outside of the house. Around 3:00pm the courier dropped off the clothes I ordered online – everything fits perfectly. When I buy clothes from overseas what I do is wash them before I wear them just to make sure that any dyes are washed out along with anything else that maybe on them. I’ve emailed them back to confirm that I have received them and everything is fitting perfectly however it is a closing down sale and there are some items I wish to purchase but they’re made to order so I’m unsure whether they’re available to order or are they only selling off the inventory they have in stock then once that is done they’re clothing their doors.

I went to mum’s place for dinner, I bought along some fresh bread I bought on Monday, cut them bread in half and put spread garlic butter over it, wrapped it up in aluminium foil and warmed it up in the last few minutes when the chicken was cooking on the BBQ. It was a tasty dinner along with the salad on the side. I mentioned to mum about the plan for 2 weeks off over the first coupe of weeks on June this year where I’ll spend a week following WWDC and then the next week I’ll go for a holiday up to Auckland to spend some time touring around, maybe even give the new city link train service a try which will be New Zealand’s first subway.

When I woke up this morning I checked for updates and uBlock Origin Lite 2026.111.1925 was made available in the Mac App Store – it is kind of strange that the iOS App Store approve things at a quicker pace than the Mac App Store. Once installed everything is working as it should. Looking back in terms of my experience on Safari when compared to Chrome, it is funny how the problems I experienced were addressed by disabling ‘prevent cross-site tracking’ meaning the problems I had with websites either not working or if they worked they kind of worked suddenly disappeared. It makes me wonder whether this was the issue Chrome was facing regarding their goal of moving away from third party cookies with the realisation that even with the best of intentions if there isn’t the will by sites to actually support the new way of doing things then the whole project is doomed to failure.
