    argh!! .. power supply arrived for new laptop (new being nearly 2 years old of course lol) .. and I'm having to set everything up again.. LOADS of updates and stuff.. given it hasn't been usable since August despite 2 repairs it isn't surprising but it is taking forever to do anything.. there must be millions of windows updates and everything else updates too.. and I can't access any of the backed up files still.. this is simply not amusing!

    Not doing badly today, although I haven't done much in the living room.
    - emptied all bins in house
    - cleaned bathroom washbasin
    -put away a few things in the kitchen
    - did half an hour or so pruning/weeding/tidying in the garden
    - finished one report and emailed it
    -dealt with 6-8 items on my email task list; one of these was dated 2014.....although in my defence, it was a research paper I'd marked to read but wasn't very important.
    -Made enough notes on 3 of the above to count as training, so can add that to CPD (all my things 'to be added' are of course in a plastic tray labelled CPD....)
    - answered phone to someone trying to convince me there was a problem with my computer and told him "You're a scam; bu**er off" which I shouldn't feel proud about, but gave me immense satisfaction!!
    - halfway through another report.

    Lunch next.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
