The back is much improved. In fact, it was almost back to normal the next day and today - Saturday - it feels fine. It’s strange, but I’m not the only person on the team to have suffered with an immobile back last week. Perhaps it’s the change in the weather, or just the fact that we were all at the end of a schedule, so working particularly frantically.

Today, then, was a day of tidying up odds and ends, and for me a big shopping trip this afternoon. Never having bought it before, I had no idea it would be so difficult to find fennel. They didn’t have any in our enormous Sainsbury’s, so I ended up having to do Tesco, too. The difference is stark. While Sainsbury’s isn’t exactly deluxe, if you go from there to Tesco the latter feels downright grotty. Fortunately, though, it redeemed itself, having all the bits that were missing in Sainsbury’s.

That’ll serve me right for deciding to cook from a Delia book.

I should have gone earlier. It was already evening when I got back. Too many of those tidied up bits and pieces involved sorting out my Linux. I decided to upgrade to Fedora 4, and switch from the desktop to the laptop. It was all remarkably smooth, and now I have an (apparently) completely glitch free install running nice and fast - even on the Wifi.

Now for the long job of tracking down all my plug-ins again.
