No it wasn't Tom Jones the singer! The death occurred after a very brief illness. Despite some expensive medical treatment it was determined nothing further could be done resulting in him being euthanised.
Our only granddaughter was devastated when she heard the news. Her father explained this was part of the cycle of life. Mia wanted to see Tom one last time. She also wanted to make a cross for the grave Although they had less than two years together it was apparently heart wrenching watching her grieve over the loss of Tom, one of her two naked guineapigs.
I'm still coming to terms with the thought I had a naked guineapig named after me!
Australia Post delivered a parcel today. It's Sunday!!! One assumes Australia Post have moved from 5 to 7 day deliveries pre Christmas. The package contained the Insta360 camera Jan had ordered for me.
We have mutually agreed that at our age if we want something there is little point in delaying, unless there are financial implications. Of course Jan isn't going to place an order until she can find the lowest price and the maximum number of discount codes. The purchase price was somewhere below 25% the normal retail price.
The box contained (L to R)
- USB C charging cable
- Quick Start Guide (how to insert the battery, charging cable and turn it On/OFF)
- Safety instructions (don't overcharge the battery)
- Camera
- Lens cleaning cloth
- Waterproofing Instructions (how to seal and dry)
- Soft Cover
- Stickers
The camera had to be registered online in order to download the video production program. Camera user instructions were minimal. I'll need to start watching You Tube.
Meanwhile Jan's Christmas gift is some type of fancy electrical appliance which isn't available in Australia. It's coming from the UK.

Oh dear, poor granddaughter, her grief is very real. RIP Tom Jones the naked Guinea pig. I shudder to think what a naked Guinea pig looks like.
I shudder at the thought one was named after me!
