Shopping, Computer,

So, there am I sitting in the lobby waiting to be picked up, when along comes a big bus - could have carried half a dozen passengers at least - just for me? The driver checked where we were going, and when he realised it was the underground parking, he said the vehicle was too tall. The height of the entry is 7 ft. so you know how big this was. I had to ask the PC Express people to come to us outside, not too difficult really. However, the driver is going to make sure that vehicle is not used to pick me up for shopping again. They always give you a granola bar and some bottled water. I never take the water (basically don't approve of bottled water, the bottles are plastic and take 450 years to decompose) so I just take granola. Got one for the driver too. No, they are not allowed to take tips apparently. Tried.

My computer guy came this evening, thinks the problem is the power source so has taken the unit away. Unfortunately he is moving and says I may not get my PC for a week. He is moving to Paris, Ontario that is, a delightful town from what I know of it. Unfortunately it is a long drive away. He says he is hoping to keep old customers like me (no he didn't mean my age). So I don't think I will be posting much on this laptop. Certainly no recipes I don't think. Too difficult with the floating cursor on this machine. Pity because the machine itself works fine except for that.

Wednesday is our cleaner's day and I have a cardiologist appointment in the afternoon. May have to go get some of that green stuff too. Getting low.

So, that's it for today. Will try and use recipes when I have more time to wait for the cursor to go where I want it to

Have a great day

    1. I guess I am going to have to rustle up some money to update, out of the question right now.

      Yes, I always enjoy my granola bar.

  3. I don't approve of water bottles either. I can't remember the last time I bought one. Years. Hope that computer gets fixed.

    1. You're right Birgit. I have a desktop which is old and a laptop which is ancient.
