Yes, it appears to have stopped raining. For now. And we’ve actually had some sunshine today. We’ll see how long it lasts.
Hm. I’ve started feeling optimistic and unwontedly happy lately, with a feeling that something nice is coming my way. I know I have a chunk of money due to me, but it’s more than that. I’m planning….
Anyway, for now, I’m looking at cameras and computer hardware. Tempting as it is to splurge the whole damm lot and more on a DSLR camera, I’m looking over the range of midprice 10-12 megapixel digitals, something equivalent to the Ricoh camera that got nicked last month. Hopefully, I’ll have it in time to take some Yule pics.
And I’ve decided to buy a whole new PC base unit – motherboard, memory, dual-core CPU and case, maybe a hard drive as well. My present setup is over five years old, which is ancient in tech terms. It’s slow, won’t play videos properly, watching TV programs and DVDs on it is well nigh impossible and it crashes with boring regularity. A new machine would make me far more productive – I will be able to get so much more done, be much more efficient…..
