Working hard on finishing the renovation; we're all ded tired, and we may be coming down with a cold. It's no wonder, considering the crazy weather lately - unbearable heat followed by freezing cold, and all the cleaning we're doing. But it looks great, and the extra insulation will mean lower heating bills, and the walls are nice and white now and everything's clean and sparkly. No money for new furniture, unfortunately.

I've got my computer hooked up now, ad it's a new computer, bought just a month before the renovation started because my old one finally gave up the ghost. My monitor is also new - and huuuge! widescreen, and almost 23" - but it was an unexpected expense and I was happy with the old 19" one but it too broke down just days into the renovation :) and I was in the middle of a translation o_O. They only had models 22" and up, and I had to get one right away. It's great having a monitor that big, I must admit. Can't wait to see how movies look on it!

"we're all ded tired" I see that you are tired when you are misspelling the words. You just take rest after everything is finished.

It is wonderful, a little nettop computer - so small and silent! - and I love it, but it's an unexpected expense on top of an already tight budget.

Here are some photos of both:

I had to borrow money from my aunt to pay for it. That expense was the last thing I needed. :(

Working hard, my dear friend. I'm so totally out of the loop since we had to disconnect our TV that when we got the computer hooked up again, I was shocked at the riots in Britain. The TV is still not hooked up to cable so we're getting our news via the internet.

"....we're getting our news via the internet."


Same here.......e.g. saw some rather grim and entirely
graphic photography............Daily Mail had FORTY ONE shots of what was
happening.
I did a journal entry about it...............
You might see that.

Thank you, though I wish I didn't have to get a new one. It set me back quite a bit. I must admit that a part of me only sees New! Shiny! but man, couldn't have the old one held out just a little bit more???
