Sun blazing in the window here as I try to drum up the will to work, while also packing my bags in preparation for a short business trip to Ireland, followed by a long weekend in the South West.

The other day I ran VirtualBox. As it often does, it told me a new version was available, so I downloaded and installed that.
Today, I ran Vagrant, which complained that it wasn't compatible with the new version of VirtualBox. I remembered having this problem before; the solution is to run the older version of VirtualBox which I'd just blown away by upgrading, so I downloaded that again and installed it over the new version.
After that I had a thought, and checked the Vagrant website. Sure enough: new version, that works with the new version of VirtualBox
I'm carrying on with the old versions for now; I don't have time for this tulip…
