Feeling a bit wintery in the house today, down to 13 degrees in the front room at 7.30, been kept awake during the night by the strong winds, the shutters at the front were rattling a bit but I can’t get to them now as the room is full of boxes, so I put the earplugs in and tried to get back to sleep.
Didn’t get out for a walk this morning at 6.30; far too cold and windy to make myself feel any more unpleasant than I feel at that time of day after a rough night’s sleep, so sat for half an hour while I had my hot water and lemon, and played with the new tablet – LG V400, not any other kind of tablet.
I like this thing, it’s got some funny habits. For example, when I use it to check things on Facebook and make a post, I write my pot, and then click share, or done or whatever it is, up pops my post and the tablet tells me ‘You posted this’ or ‘You just shared this’ and I say, I know, I told you to, I am in charge, actually. I mean, how thick does it think I am? I expect there will come a day soon when we won’t even have to like or post our own things, our devices will know what we would like or post and do it for us.
Anyway, meanwhile, what next, where are we? Ah yes. We’re heading off into another winter week on Symi and this one contains all the usual ingredients: tap, aerobics, walks, Pilates (for Neil) and so on, plus a couple of extra ones: signing the contract for the new house (the new furniture has been ordered) and collecting a new laptop. I am getting ahead of myself with this, I’ve found a new one as I want to upgrade before this one goes wrong suddenly, not that it looks like it is going to. Then everything shuffles down: Neil gets this one and his becomes the spare for emergencies. Might sound extravagant, but I’ve been saving up. Thought I should get it now and give myself time to transfer everything across and get used to Windows 8, as that seems unavoidable now.
So, that’s’ me for a Monday morning. Jack has just wandered in from his place on the sofa and decided that the big square box fill of kitchen things is this morning’s favoured bath and sleep place. So, he’s happy.
Have a good week ahead.
