Morning. Where did all this cloud come from ?

I've been given a 'new' monitor at work, handed down from a colleague. It replaces one dug out of the computer graveyard when I arrived.

I'm going up in the world, I am. Only a few more years and I may get Win10...

Only one !!!

My back isn't behaving today. Exceptionally stiff. Popped the co-codamol - if it doesn't kick in, I'll be going home

Meant to mention, I got offered a hardly used Pinnacle (Evans) road bike for 'nothing' at weekend. My neighbour bought it a few years ago (I'd fitted pedals for him) but he didn't get on with it, and is looking to switch to a MTB for pottering along the canal, and TPT. I 'unfortunately' turned it down as I said I've got 3 road bikes going no-where in my garage now (he knew about my back injury) and I only stick to the MTB. I suggested ebay.

Only one !!!

It took two weeks before someone noticed my computer had no mouse, so I'm grateful for small mercies.

And a "where the hell are my art pens thread"...

I mean how can I misplace a wallet of pens?

Found the bloomin' things in the bottom of my camera bag. I'll be damned if I know how the heck they ended up in there...

Do you have a Tidy Mouse which puts things away ?

 

[Illaveago]

Did he ever find it?

Things usually turn up after you've replaced them.

I find that things go off into a different time zone . They will reappear when the time is right !

Many thanks. It was a little bit of an anticlimax in the end.

Oh, and I passed.

Congratulations on passing your exam .

Co-codamol for my breakky ! I'll give it till about 10:30 when it will wear off - if no good, going home.

Whilst I was away I spotted this sign which reminded me of a Mundane News past time .

This is where I was hiding for a few days .

Urgent text from my daughter, via my wife. "Can you get 5mm gold 'washi tape' and/or gold paint for my Art exam tomorrow. ?"

Like where from ?, I'm not near shops, nor is my wife. Well, for the second time recently, our Student Union shop has come up trumps as it stocks art supplies. They didn't have 'washi tape' (although they do want to get some in) but they did have a little pot of gold leaf paint. That will be £10 ta.

Last time it was 'marbling dyes', again last minute - got some for £25... erk - this art stuff ain't cheap.
