Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 08:39PM This morning the weather here was horrid. Wet and grey and just right for going out and not getting what you want from the shops.
So I did.
In the afternoon things picked up a bit.
Nice tree and sky.
Friday, October 23, 2009 at 12:12PM We got a letter today. Someone had tried to deliver a package and failed because “our house is not on a road”. Well, I looked outside and the road was still there. True enough, a road near where we live is blocked at the moment while some new flood drains are installed, but we can still get in or out. And the letter managed to get here….
I rang the delivery company and told them that it is actually possible to get to where we live. I guess that as soon as they saw that the way the SatNav was pointing was blocked they must have given up.

Show someone that message and ask them which of the buttons is the dangerous one and I’ll bet they’ll look at you as if you were from Mars. Why can’t they just say:
Software Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 10:47PM If you are a UK student I have some very good news for you. The Ultimate Steal is back. This is a deal from Microsoft that puts its software into your hands at less than video game prices. You can get Office Ultimate for 39 pounds and Windows 7 Home Premium for 30.
Well worth checking out.
