What have you all been doing?
More than I have managed all week as I have been ill with a couple of problems and further upset by the medication.
Went to a nearby village and bought fruit and sea food. Baked 3 types of scones and then cooked paella for dinner.
Sitting with a donated Muji memory foam cushion friend brought round that is magical in sorting out bad back problems, and I am currnetly almost ecstatic at being pain free for the first time in 10 days.
Told OH this evening I had not bought him a pressie yet, his birthday his Monday. He was fine, I explained what I had in mind and asked him to choose the model. It will be macputer...unlike MissK's it will not be top of the range.
Oh and I have not puked. Another triumph.
Its all fun fun fun here.0 -

Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

I am beginning to feel the limitations of my 12-year old macputer. It stutters when I try to watch telly progs on it.
But when I get a new one it won't be able to run Appleworks which has my address book and my Office 2004 which is better than Office 2008. I still believe Office hasn't improved a bit since the days of Word 5. If I could have that back.
Most modern software has improvements that seem like impediments to me. Maye if I got something that can run facetime that might be what I might find useful.
