I am officially annoyed.
The shiny new stuff is currently a very expensive brick. I have put it all away because otherwise it will become a very expensive contribution to the UK's eWaste problem.
I have now ordered a very basic (as that's all there is these days) graphics card as that's the only component I've not replaced and I need to test if that's the fault (on either the new or old rig) before toys and prams completely part company.

In other news, there was a brief shower but otherwise it's been a lovely day. Perfect for staying indoors.Comment

Either the party that's been going on all afternoon around these parts is mellowing out or someone is trying to compete with the rubbish music by blasting out a bit of Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here.
Maybe I'll pop a bit of Rammstein on the old boom box to help mix things up a bit.
And editing on mobile web is fixed, thanks NF

Managed to get a quick trouser wash done
It's turned sunny and Simpsonesque out now, and looks as if it's building towards a nice sunset

I made paratha to mop up the rest of last night's curry. Coriander and chilli ones
Ents is Eurovision. Started it an hour late so I can skip through the majority of the dross (if I skipped all the dross I wouldn't see any of it
)
