Bus not on time at 1 minute late (Shock! Horror! This Is Switzerland!)
Sunshine. Coffee, tea and beer consumed at a pavement cafe, albeit with ski jacket firmly zipped up.
Plan B going according to plan to the point I am looking at new working premises.
With the odd hiccup, of course, like people not available to take delivery at the appointed time.
Too many Christmas parties going on at the moment. Bah Humbug!
P.S. Delivery van appears to run on fresh air though. Tried filling it up today and it took very little outlay.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Now lad playing a storm on his keyboard. He's not bad...
Replaced the laptop display today. Found a compatible display - but it cost £60!!
