    I can't work effectively with fewer than 2.

    Agreed.

    I run 2 x 27" 4K desktop monitors and 32GB of RAM on the imac to keep god only knows how many projects open at once.

    Plus the work laptop of course. But it's basically useless for anything other than email and vpn-ing into the company intranet.

    I'm currently browsing on my new iPod pro, listening to King Crimson, whilst sipping a glass of Kim Crawford Savignon blanc. Life don't get much better :D

    The wind's howling here in Surrey and the rain is lashing down. I just got back indoors from the shops before it turned horrible. The dog doesn't look keen on going for a walk tonight!

    It's been 22 degrees and sunny for the whole time we've been here.

    I have a great photo to show how money does not buying taste. Will have to wait til I can load up photos.

    We didn't realise that garden plants could be toxic but I was surprised how many hazards there are

    I knew a few but not that many, more fencing off required.
    Thanks

    It's vile here too. Hopefully Gen will be along shortly to say Aus is fab and the weather wonderful... but looking at the clock we may need to wait a bit.

    9.45am. 21C and not a cloud in the sky :)
