Day 3: your objective is to find an Angel!
I haven't seen any angels on Christmas trees or in lights as far as I can recall, so I had a think and thought of a place where I would almost certainly find some. I planned a route for a 30 mile bike ride and then dithered and procrastinated and fiddled around for so long that it was 3pm and I only had time for a short walk before I needed to be back to finish preparing for our visitors this evening.

I found a way after about 3 hours and then a glance at the instruction manual and I noticed that you could download various formats including the one that Apple uses. It took about 10 minutes then to load 100 or so tunes and work out how to shuffle, switch from one folder of tunes to another and how to change the EZ from "general" to "swim mode".

Day 3 ✅
I've now got 5280 steps for the day and our friends are arriving in half an hours, so I'd best do some kitchen marching.
Laters.
