Things….

Finally got this machine sorted. I kept reinstalling and getting reinfected – kept removing the trojans responsible with various tools, but failed – took a look at the instructions for completely removing trojans and decided instead to download an up to date version of XP, one with all the security bells and whistles. Did yet another reformat, installed the new XP. No trouble since!

So, apart from computer-related drama, what’s been happening chez Val? Not a lot. There’s a potential situation developing elsewhere within my circle – I can’t say anything about it here, but it looks like it could turn nasty and very public. I don’t want to be involved at all, but I’m unwillingly on the periphery. So I’m staying as neutral as I can.

And the swallows that have been nesting in our garage flew today! Yay – we can now go in and out of it without worrying about disturbing the little darlings. All that remains is to clean up the mess of droppings that they left.
