There, I fixed it
So, I finally got bored of the poor battery life on the wireless keyboard, popped to Maplin a few days ago and invested in some bits, and now: It’s actually a test run – if it works I’ll do a less cludgy repair* – it appears to work, but we’ll see what the battery life…

Most unexpected comment of Xmas/New Year

Sleep, or lack of it
So tonight I’m having trouble sleeping. I actually almost made it to sleep; moved, and suddenly my nose started to bother me. Then my brain woke up and that’s been the problem ever since. For some reason I had managed to put the multipart list of many things that need doing out of my head…

Augh!
So, my tax affairs are handled through a teeny tiny office, special I am, apparently. No particular idea why. This came to pass at the same time as Her Maj’s Revenue and Customs had a new computer system installed. I have no idea if this new system is excitingly better than the old one, or…
