Computers, Travelling Dogs.

Right now I could chuck all computers out of the window. This laptop suffers from jumping cursor. Its driving me bonkers trying to type a blog on it. Toshiba now want to reset the whole thing so that means I have to have good backups which I don’t have because the desktop is out of commission and that’s how and where I back stuff up.  Grrrr. Now it appears I really need a new desktop, after all, mine is 5 yrs or more old. Ancient where computers are concerned. Matt has said my birthday is coming up so I can go ahead, but that isn’t going to be tomorrow. Mind you I emphasised I wanted it yesterday. I cannot type on this laptop

A sad story on GMA today http://tinyurl.com/2ulj3cr about dog deaths on airplanes. I didn’t realise there were so many. We flew one of our German Shepherds (Alsatians) to Canada when we emigrated and luckily for us she travelled very well and was licking the customs officers to death when she arrived. She topk the the flight very well and it apparently didn’t phase her. However much compensation the airlines might offer you, it doesn’t really help because a pet becomes a beloved member of your family.

Short blog today, when I get my new desktop it will be different.

OK here’s the second side dish from Saturday night.
