Healthy dessert - NOT amateur radio

The wild blackberries are picked within 10m of home. Very fresh! All washed first.
What you never realised you needed?
Ever since ordering something from Aliexpress I have been bombarded with emails from Aliexpress about things I might like. When my goods arrive I shall try to unsubscribe as I am obviously on a mailing list.
Now the prices are very keen, so some things warrant another look. In some cases prices are so low with free postage that it is even worth it even if it never works.
What amazes me is how they can do this and both Aliexpress and the manufacturer can make a profit.
10m 500mW WSPR (Wednesday)
My beacon has been on since just before breakfast.
UPDATE 2050z: 118 stations mostly around Europe have spotted me. Included is V51RS (8481km).
6m QRP FT8 (Wednesday)
My 5W FT8 has been on since about 0650z.
These days I am more interested in seeing where my signal reaches than 2-way QSOs. This is partly because of my poor voice making SSB and FM QSOs far harder than they were and also because I have probably spoken with this country 40 years ago with 10m QRP!!
UPDATE 2051z: 1062 spots of me. Although I am mostly beaconing, I had one QSO with an Italian station that called me.

As we went to Cambridge by bus (very good and totally free if you are old!) and did not return until mid afternoon, I did not go on the radio today.
