Milky white sky but mild. Not really a day to encourage you out.
Lunch was a frugal scrambled egg on toast and dinner a baked potato with fish fingers and tinned spaghetti. Neither of us felt like eating all that much after last night’s feast.
I made another bow tie and it took me half the time the last one did. It was still a bit short, so I’ve made what I hope will be the final adjustments and may make one more just to be sure, but I’m going to use different material this time. Onward and upward!
Managed to get Scamp’s “illegal copy of Windows” back into the fold. After consulting with Val and downloading Magic Jellybean – daft name – I found out that the CD key used for authenticating Windows was totally wrong. So, all I did was type in the correct one from the label on the bottom of the ‘puter and, hey presto, it was licensed and we were legal again. I have no idea how or when that got changed, but it did. I also took the opportunity to remove what seems to be a dodgy Windows update at the same time. It’s amazing, just how many people are complaining about this problem on the Internet. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me, either with legal or not so legal Windows OSs. Anyway, I hope it stays fixed and doesn’t revert to the dodgy side in a few months time.
Went to the Sunday Social tonight and enjoyed trying to remember the moves we were learning a few weeks ago. We didn’t stay that long as I had a real nagging headache that simply wouldn’t go away. Back home, and after swallowing a couple of paracetamol, it disappeared. Like the Windows problem, I don’t know where it came from, but unlike Windows, I couldn’t just type in the correct CD key!
Today’s PoD was seen in a doorway in Pitt Street in Glasgow. Strange instructions. Today’s sketch is of our new dressmaking scissors. I think this is the first time I’ve used Promarkers since I left teaching. They gave a bit more depth and realism to the sketch. I’d intended going out and doing a sketch in the wild, but it wasn’t happening today. Too dull.
So I finish today’s blog where I started it, talking about the weather. Nicely cyclic.
