Isn’t shopping easy when you’re in the right mood? Today:
Busy, busy, busy. Looks like the rain is stopping, which is a good thing.
Hard drive successfully installed, eventually. Needs partitioning and formatting, but the difficult bit is done. And how much fluff can collect inside a PC?
Wow! A night just like 1999, or something. Sightings of Simone, Claudette, Anne, Trevor and DJ, as well as Mich, Hamish, Paul C, Kearn and Arron, as well as Kristian, Leah and Lucy. It was like the old days.
Missing someone though.
Now, if I’d been really clever and forward thinking, I’d have defragged the existing hard drive on my desktop overnight last night so that I was ready to begin installation of the new hard drive today. I’d also make life easier if I shut down all the applications running in background, like my anti-virus software, before starting. Guh.
My new hard drive has arrived. Prepare for much swearing and cursing when I (attempt to) install it this evening.
Meanwhile, I’ve just ordered a flat panel monitor for the nursery – much more straightforward.
Whatever your opinion of nuclear energy, I don’t think it could be disputed that many of the power stations are striking, even beautiful, examples of architecture, many exemplifying the "White Heat" technology age of the 1950s and 1960s.

A little while ago, we took on a new member of staff at the nursery. I really don’t think she is going to last the course. Today there is a little rain here. She has just said that she can’t go out in the rain because it makes her hair go curly. Last week it was alternately too hot and too cold. It strikes me that she just isn’t cut out for working on a nursery, and certainly won’t survive the winter. In fact, I honestly doubt that she’ll survive the summer. Which means that we’ll be going through the whole recruitment rigmarole again soon. Gah.
