The shower trials

Well, having had such a bad week and a half, we decided J needed a day to recover. We had a luxurious lie in (excuse the alliteration) and watched some crappy daytime TV. We then investigated the computer and found that although it initially looked like the hard drive was screwed, it now seems that the hard drive is fine but the SATA controllers are screwed. So, new motherboard for me and, while we are at it a new case as trhe one I have is a bit awkward and we want to add a couple more hard drives etc.

We then went swimming as we can't use the shower and yesterday was the hottest day this year so we were both a little sweaty. This basically pooped us out - we staggered round the supermarket to get bread, shampoo and a coupole of other little bits and staggered home. We hadn't sat down to eat lunch before Mum and Dad rang to say they were coming tofix the bath and I had promised them the chicken pot pie from the night before for t. I also made bread and butter pud form the stale bread that morning. Dad fixed the bath very quickly, and we all sat in the lounge and nattered about google maps and switzerland etc. They headed home about 8, and after J cut my hair and I cut his, we watched Independance Day on our new DVD player, courtesy of J's dad. We haven't been able to watch it up to now as our latest DVD player didn't have multiregion and a large section of our DVD's, including Independance Day, are american.

We both LOVE this film - sure it is full of plot holes but it still ROCKS!
