Stephanie passed her driving test today with just three minors! Yay! We’re all really proud of her although it’s weird to think that both my ‘babies’ now have the right to drive around on the public highway. I still haven’t got used to Alex doing it after three years so it might [...]

That was an incredibly quick week! We haven’t done a great deal other than our normal chores around the house and farm. Daniel has taken himself off to a rave somewhere for four days so I’ve been milking for the past three mornings. He comes back on Tuesday so just one more [...]

All better – at least, so far! The computer is running as it should for the time being with very little crashing! The QuickBooks program has been reinstalled although not completely for some unknown reason. When I installed it six months ago it went on without any problems and ran beautifully until [...]
I did it anyway

This morning was frustrating. The computer crashed over and over again. I went from annoyed to resigned, but when I went to open QuickBooks with the farm’s accounts on it, it had become so scrambled that nothing worked. Yikes! You know that feeling you get when you know something is bad: your [...]
It really is the software!

I spent the best part of Wednesday on the helpline to Dell in order to sort out my computer. The lady I spoke to was pleasant, helpful, and no doubt located somewhere in the vicinity of Delhi so she spoke loudly and I concentrated hard. I ran the tests as instructed. [...]

and then there’s the bad!
The good news is my internet connection is still steady, still strong and still (in my opinion) an odd coincidence! That’s a whole week since the BT guy said ‘not a thing wrong with your line’ and magically, with those few words, solved my problem! Is it like [...]

Whilst we were visiting mum at St Margaret’s Hospice on one occasion I stopped to read the notices on the board and saw that a ‘Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’ was being held today at Halswell House in Goathurst, near Bridgwater to raise funds for the Hospice. My friend Vivien and I visited [...]

Since I bought my new computer in January I have, on the whole, been quite satisfied with Vista and its over-protectiveness in a lazy, can’t-be-bothered-to-make-the-effort kind of way. I’ve reached the stage with my computer where I just want to turn it on and watch everything run smoothly. No longer am I [...]

I’ve gotten out of the habit of writing as I’ve been gone for such a long time. So many things have happened. Lots of thoughts have gone through my head and promptly left again before I’ve had a chance to write them down anywhere. That’s to be expected I suppose. I won’t go [...]
