2) Affinity Photo and Designer. I rarely use them, not enough to throw money at Adobe and they’re good!
3) iPhone 12. The 6S was more or less broken
4) A libro.fm subscription to get away from Audible
Life-changing event -- as my chronic nagging RLS has finally gone, and I can finally sleep like a baby again, after many years.
I'm taking now ~1000 mg/day, for time being, self-medicated.

2) Pressure cooker. Since we're cooking every day now, this makes a lot of meals faster and easier. Saves a lot of fuel when cooking on the boat as well
3) Pantry full of shelf-stable foods. We test-provisioned for longer boat trips at home last winter, which was suddenly extremely useful when Covid hit and panic buying emptied shelves in stores.
