Now you see me, tomorrow you don't

Well, a helpful gentleman from Dell dropped around this afternoon, and consequently my work laptop is up and running again. Just as well to be honest, my own laptop, an increasingly creaky old Dell Inspiron, has near given up the ghost. It was all I could do to keep it running for more than a few minutes at a time before the dreaded blue screen of death reared it's ugly head. It's almost a shame that I'm back at work really, the extra time off (which counted as neither holiday time, nor sick days after I politely declined my managers suggestion that it could be assigned as such), was quite soothing really. Admittedly I wasn't able to do much with it today, as I needed to stick around the flat waiting for the repair man to turn up, but it was a chance to unwind before my holiday, since holidays are rarely as relaxing as advertised (but in a good way as far as I'm concerned). I did celebrate the lengthening evening (post spring clock change), with a peramble around outside. It was a bright and warm evening with a freshly washed scent after the long rainfall earlier in the afternoon, and though I didn't see any rainbows, it was hard to believe that there wasn't one lurking around a corner somewhere.

I shan't return until next Monday evening, so you probably won't hear much from me until then. Rest assured I plan on enjoying myself rather a lot, and I'll try to have some photographic evidence of such upon my return.

See you later!
