caddymanWe seem to have a working boiler and all that entails.
At last HOT showers without having to plan well ahead and press the over ride button a dozen or so times! More to the point, for the first time in a while, the bath is a viable alternative - though I still prefer the shower. Oh yes: central heating too. Even through my virus-infested nasal passages I picked up on the smell of radiators warming up after a summer's disuse.
Now all I have to do is shake off this cold and all will be hunky dorey.
So a day's worth of progress, then. Glyn sans LJ has picked up my moribund PC and will return it on Sunday upgraded and alive with all-new, all-singing, all-dancing upgrades that actually work. It's been a month now, and while I like my little lappie, it doesn't have the applications I want which are all locked on my dear old PC. That reminds me, the floppy drive on it is coming up to 10 years old and is the only survivor of the uncounted upgrades that have seen the computer mutate and evolve from an early Pentium to whatever it will be on Sunday. The fact that the box will be black, the floppy, DVD and CD ROM drives grey and the keyboard off-white gives an idea of the Frankenstein's monster of a hybrid I shall be using.
Can't wait.
