Can sympathise. My degree went completely down the pan once we got the internet in our house...

I remember when Netscape Navigator was new and shiny. Though I was only using the internet at uni....

I remember seeing adverts for something called "The Science of Cambridge MK 14" in Wireless World at the bargain price of £39.99 or some such.

Apparently one could control a nuclear power station with it if sufficiently clever.

Morning denizens

Sunny out, with white fluffiness scattered hither and yon in the firmament

Turning chilly again though; down to 8°C, barometers on 986/993mB, and a 30% chance of snow tonight

The forecast rain has been and seems to have gone as planned.

I'm listening to the radio and they are talking about the snowman story I posted in general.




I got the original story of their radio news yesterday.

[SueEllen]

A 7 year old girl pointed out that all the little boy and his mum had to do is repair the snowman with 3 more snow balls.

Jumpers folded up and put away; mundane laundry on (quick wash)

[NickFitz]

Hemming and hawing over whether to go to Sainsbury's. I could get rid of a bunch of bags in the Oxfam recycling thing, but in terms of shopping there isn't really a huge amount I need. Thinking I might be better staying local and going to Iceland or the Co-op

[NickFitz]

Lunch: duck and barley soup with wholemeal bread

And the mundane laundry was done at the same time as the soup was ready, so had to wait; but now it's draped over the clotheshorse in front of the fire (for want of any radiators yet)

And finally, the 5l of carpet cleaning solution I ordered from Amazon (it being spoken highly of in reviews and considerably cheaper than the Vax-branded stuff) is only a few stops away; the van is within a couple of hundred yards, but the one-way system of the terraced streets over the road will probably delay it slightly

(It couldn't be delivered to the Locker for spurious reasons.)

Why I was busy actually trying to work some tree surgeons turned up.

Instead of telling us all to move our cars before hand they started removing a tree near it.

Luckily my car is furthest from the tree. However I have 3 annoyed neighbours. There are no signs saying they were going to remove the bloody tree.
