OK, so maybe computers don’t suck so much today. Without a second thought the replacement PC rebooted the knackered drive this morning as though nothing had ever been wrong. Sneaky git. I bet it just wanted a new home so sulked until I put it inside a new PC.
Anyway, I’m assuming this is merely a temporary resurrection, so I copied everything off onto the new drive amd I’ll not use it in the future.
It means I’ve got back all my documents, photos and stuff. My contacts are still proving somewhat elusive, though, remaining buried somewhere in an encrypted file deep within the Windows directory.
Clearly it needs some further coercion.
Hmmm…
Lunch with the team at Wagamama; a place that has never much impressed me in the past. Today’s Japanese curry (pumpkin, aubergine, yam) was excellent, though. There’s a slim chance I may be tempted back - if only to try the ginger cheesecake I was too full to order.
A fun show this evening, with Zoe from Active and Ursula from Advisor. Some good calls and a pile of emails we didn’t get through.
We tried Googlecooking, where you look in your cupboard to see what ingredients you have, then type them into Google and see what recipes it throws up. I read about it on a blog somewhere or other, but was in a hurry at the time, so didn’t note down the name.
It didn’t work too well. We gave Steve’s Challenge an easy list of food and an hour to come up with a meal, but of our red pepper, courgette, parmesan, rice and smoked haddock we still had parmesan left by the end of the evening.
Arrived home to find an affectionate kitty sitting on the bottom stair and a small pile of cat sick on the kitchen floor. Why are pets always most friendly when they have bad breath?
