After a morning of blue skies, it's clouding over here

Chance of rain tonight and tomorrow morning

Well, I'm having an absolute pig of a day. None of my office applications are working. None. **** you Microsoft. **** you.

Just had a message from Son. His works Dell laptop shut itself down and then started updating itself. Same symptoms as they had with a major virus outbreak a while back that he didn't get caught by.

Phoned the service desk.

"Not a problem" says the helpdesk guy.

"Have you got any Xmas decorations up yet?"

"Err, yes?" says Son.

"Switch them off" says helpdesk guy.

"OK..." says Son, but does as requested.

Laptop starts working again.

Turns out yesterday was the fifteenth anniversary of Charlie the Unicorn!

Today is the 15th anniversary of Charlie the Unicorn! I made the cartoon as a birthday gift for my unicorn-loving mom, and on November 26th, 2005 it was uploaded to the @Newgrounds portal. Happy birthday mom, and Charlie, and thanks to everyone who has watched over the years!

Dell laptops sold for corporate use have a special Fun Detector circuit that crashes the machine if any indication of fun is picked up in the vicinity

CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED!

Well, postponed to Easter at any rate

It seems my brother has decided that it's too risky and thinks my idea of a postponement is the right one, and as everybody always defers to him, it looks like it's a done deal

Can you interfere with MrsB's laptop and maybe use that as an excuse with her?

Smalls in the WM.

Smalls out of the WM and into the TD.

Shirts into the WM.

Smalls out of the TD.

Shirts out of the WM and into the TD.

Cottons in the WM.

Shirts out of the TD and roughly ironed, or as ironed as they're likely to get, thencely hung on hangers and airing on the picture rail in the back bedroom.

Cottons out of the WM and into the TD.

<hiatus while the TD generates random numbers>

Cottons out of the TD into the washing basket and thence to the floor of the hall since I can't be arsed to walk upstairs again to hang them over the banisters.

Bit more concreting done in the tin shed.

Not sure quite how much more I can be arsed to do.

I suppose I'd better finish it off more or less properly.

Tea (once I've recovered from the day's exertions): non chunky Tesco breaded haddock, stewed pears and custard, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
