Fade to Black




Since our neighbourhood power blackout a couple of weeks ago, my computer has been "iffy" at the best of times.
And earlier this week, it decided to go to lunch - permanently.

One minute, I'm sorting out online payments for upcoming markets, the next, fade to black.

There was much button pushing, turn off/turn on/turn off/turn on at power points, copious swearing, then, final resignation whilst staring at the monitor's inky visage. A square black hole.

Computers. Incredibly useful, when they're working.
Absolutely useless when they're not.
And, quotes for replacement/repairs/upgrade costs... ouch!

Luckily, I found a great computer guy locally who could service it within a few days, and we are now back up and running.
So, I'll be composing a new blog post, catching up with emails and my fave blogs later tonight.


Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! See you soon :)
