So a weekend with Shell, spent relaxing, playing Monopoly, bowling and visiting the Animal Farm Country Park (apologies for the terrible site, but I cannot be held responsible for the lack of web skills of linked sites)
It was pretty cool (despite the rain) and we met lots and lots of goats, some donkeys and even a Llama. We were pleased to find out that we aren't llamas (in case any of you were wondering) as Misty (the llama) didnt spit at us. Apparently, they only spit at other llamas. If however, you have been spat at by a llama, then drop me a line so I can mention it :)
I won the bowling of course (of course? OF COURSE? yeah right - managed to scrape a win more likely) and hopefully we will be going again soon to have a couple more games. 1 game cost nearly a tenner and we spent 25mins playing it. However, in the evenings you can get 3 games for �6, so I think we'll try that instead.
On another note, I have been using eBay for a few years now (and have a blue star for my efforts) and it never fails to amaze me what people will pay for stuff. Check this one for example. An incredible amount of money, and I have one sat under my desk at home (well beside the desk as it is a beast) which is massively upgraded compared to that one. Amiga kit has been fetching ridiculous prices recently, so maybe it is time for me to sell off some of my bits and pare down my computing power. I don't use it anywhere near as much as I did (mostly thanks to Shell for giving me somewhere else to direct my efforts) and I have waaaay too much stuff. I feel an ebaying session coming on to clear some bits and bobs or maybe a car boot sale to get rid of some others. And make some money too boot!
This week should see me cleaning the old car and getting it advertised, to put money back in my account - providing the weather holds up. Clean the inside up, take it to the carwash, etc - nothing too major :)
An interesting link from Apple today. Just in case you were wondering How to pick up and carry your iMac G5, Apple have provided detailed instructions. I pity all the Mac users who were worried about this - and all those owners who are carrying one around without instructions on how to put it down...
I always thought cats were cleverer than dogs, but it would appear "Red" is pretty damn smart
And also RIP to Janet Leigh who passed away yesterday at 77. Best remembered for her role in Psycho...
