graculusMy desktop is becoming more and more unpredictable, as it has developed a tendency to suddenly shut down for no apparent reason - at first I thought it was complaining that I was trying to get it to do more than one thing at a time, but even that isn't consistent, as sometimes it'll reboot itself in the middle of the night while nothing is going on. And I don't even get the BSOD, it just goes off, which makes me think it's a hardware problem rather than a software one.
Well, at least I have the laptop, so there won't be a period of disconnection once I find someone to have a look at it (which is going to have to wait till after I get back from my hols). The thought of being completely disconnected from the interwebs fills me with horror! ;)
Speaking of hols, this time next week I'll be getting on the plane. Yikes, how did May come around so fast? It seems like only 5 minutes ago it was Christmas. I'm currently going through the pre-holiday routine of checking what I have and what I can't find (things like adapters and sunscreen usually being the main source of difficulty) and wondering just how much chocolate I can fit into one suitcase alongside everything else. The answer to that last question is, of course, 'a lot' or 'as much as will attract attention from the sniffer dogs at customs', based on past experience (though that could also have been down to the fact that, at one point, my suitcase used to be a favourite place for weasel snoozing).
Speaking of chocolate, I have to go and buy that, not to mention a memory card for my camera. If I do that today, then at least I won't be rushing round next weekend, when I want to go and see Iron Man and then have to take the kids off to their holiday accommodation. Because this afternoon I really have to finish that WWW story I've been working on. Really. Or else.
