We have had a light sprinkling of snow flakes on both of our cars . It seems to have melted on the ground.

Disastrous afternoon in the office.

Was going fine until I went for a mug of tea. Came back and found the laptop completely frozen. A hard reboot, which took a good minute or two of holding the power button, resolved the matter and of the report I was drafting, or rather doing a comprehension exercise on a copied in earlier one, was only missing the end of a sentence.

Time passed and another mug of tea collected only for it to freeze again. Down a floor to disturb IT from whatever IT staff do and it was found that the problem was an under desk network box. Resolved by the old switch off switch on.

Continued drafting the report to conclusion which was now in word entirely separate from the database. Copied it in and somehow found all I had was that as extant from after the first freeze.

Redid the report, always a lot quicker the second time as no thought needed, and saved it separately as the database was saying someone else was editing it - that's me.

Then tried to enter the data fields but although seeming to be okay it then threw up error messages when entering a standard code. Time to pack in. Trust tomorrow it will be okay
No it's not Fujitsu, it's not that reliable!

So went to play my new dvds and pop the dvd player stopped working.We have a surge box and the dvd selection has died.The player itself still works,we checked it in a single plug.So we have to decide if we can use one of the two spare selections.Going to check in the daylight tomorrow,or it may mean another Surge protector to be safe.

You were given a Furby!

Hopefully you only have the one.

Electric substation hit late morning. Knocking out the power to local houses.
The (elderly*) driver had a heart attack* behind the wheel, causing him to lose control.
Annoyed residents tried to drag the driver out. To let them know how they felt about what he'd done. Others just annoyed that they now have to walk to the main road. All of 70 yards.

Police arrived in force to seperate/disperse the crowd, and to close off the access roads to all but emergency vehicles.

If we get the temperature drop tonight as predicted, they'll have a bit more than the driver hitting the substation to moan about.

*Other descriptions have been given, none favourable.

Faro flight just gone over heading in to Bournemouth Airport. It's going to be a tad chilly for the passengers 🥶

Just the one Kizzy cat, and one Bob cat.

Can the batteries be removed to silence them?

I made some plaster grapes to repair an 1890s station seat. No low temperatures were involved.

Normal studio temperatures, but nothing froze.
