It is. Yesterday I kept thinking it was Saturday.

It's not today either.

Jury rigged laptop cable went *fzzzzzzzzzt* so the new one has been pressed into service. Laptop threw a wobbly on reboot, but I'm back up and running for the moment. I really do hope this solves the issue, otherwise it will be new laptop time.

So far, the Lenovo 430 is the leading selection. Having a built-in DVD drive is a thumbs up.

I've a PSU that works OK on charging, but if I try to run the laptop while it's plugged in the mouse misbehaves. It no lives in the car just in case I forget the good one.

Just make sure you don't buy a consumer Lenovo. My wife's Lenovo worked OK but the case started to break up around the hinge.

up late due to a Red Sox vs Yankees baseball do-or-die game. 1st baseball game I've watched in a dog's age. true to form I watched the whole thing up until the final 2 outs then passed out & woke only to find out the Sox won. now I have to decide if I want to watch all their new playoff games. so exhausting being a sports fan

It was a very cheap hotel room but very handy for pubs and taprooms. Leeds must be pretty old; it was already there when I was born.

Talking of Leeds and history, while hoping for a trip down memory lane I discovered I was actually lost in Lacuna Lane. I was trying to remember where the city centre Grandways* opened up. I remember being dragged through it when I was young but nothing seemed to ring any bells on walkabout. Kirkgate toward the east seemed possible but nowhere triggered any memories.

*This was Leeds' first supermarket, back in the early 60s. It created quite a stir amongst people who like to shop cheap at the time.
