Randomness

1. Ah, I love summer rain. Which is good, as according to pretty much every weather report I've seen, it's going to carry on for the rest of our lives. Including to my cousin's wedding, which is happening in Folkestone not-this-Saturday-but-next. I bought a very lovely, if rather revealing dress - and to think I was worried about getting sunburnt! I might have to look for a matching umbrella.

2. Tomorrow morning, a man is bringing me a shiny new laptop! Hooray! I chose a mid-range one, on the basis that it's not intended to be my main computer, so it would be silly to go crazy with it. But it should still be rather exciting.

3. I have been trying to book opera tickets, but the Leeds Grand Theatre online booking service isn't working for me, and when I phone their so-called box office, all I get is an answerphone. Still, on the plus side, the guy they got to record their messages has a voice just like Christopher Lee. Yummy....

4. Update - and in fact just now while I was typing, they phoned me back, and the booking is all sorted now. Yay! #I'm going to see Michael Maniaci, I'm going to see Michael Maniaci!# Will mail people who are coming with details of the tickets shortly.

ooh, very shiny. I've got a dell laptop here at work and am very impressed with it - it's pretty ruggedly built and speedy, not too heavy.

I really need a new base unit for home though, as we've got a laptop (which K uses in the evenings) and my old PC is sooooo sllooooow. You can turn it on, go and make a cup of tea, then come back upstairs to find it *almost* ready...

Hee, my old one used to be like that. I always made sure I turned it on about 5 minutes before I would actually need it.
