1) Pat's new sim card arrived and is installed in a slightly aging android phone that seems to be working OK. Phew ! 2) Gwilym's pc seems to be a Vista problem. Yeah, I know. Vista is the problem. We'll load Windows 7 or 8 on it. 3) Pat's Kindle is being replaced by Amazon. Should arrive Tuesday. 4) Family PC is over eight years old. It's time to replace it with a refurb mac mini. 5) Printer cartridges changed. Nozzles deep cleaned. Several times ! Now OK ! We're getting back to normal !

Woo hoo ! On the agenda - perhaps Kentucky Fried Chicken. Then the Cinema to see The Lone Ranger !

Breathe slowly and tackle things one at a time. 1) Pat's phone reported lost and sim-card blocked 2) Pat's Kindle reported faulty and a replacement is on the way 3) Cartridges ordered for printer, then we'll have to clean the nozzles 4) Gwilym's computer may have to go to a computer-fixer for fixing 5) The family PC will always be too slow till it ends up in the dump
