this morning started with a fantastic family skyping back to the UK which i managed to sleep through which i’m very sorry about. i did manage to construct my office chair though which was bought with some xmas gift money.
then we did various admin things (including thank you letters) and i got my computer backuping sorted so i can actually use my computer again.
to demonstrate how important backups are, i managed to lose 2 hours work on a blog post for another blog when an application crashed and the file disappeared (despite me saving multiple drafts along the way – blummin microsoft live writer). anyway …
there was a severe weather warning for thunderstorms and possible tornadoes so we delayed going out until later in the afternoon. in the event nothing happened weather wise other than a couple of small and light rain storms, but better safe than sorry.
this afternoon we took pearl for a walk at the end of a 10km volcano reef which spews out in the harbour. it has an area for dogs to run wild and they can walk on a lead in the rest of it. we also did three geocaches and our first two munzees.
this evening esther and i watched dr who and jane and kezia did some jigsawing.
