Training up a new brain cell…
I took delivery of a new computer yesterday. Another Mesh but rather more current than my old one – which in fairness still performs sterling service but is beginning to show it’s five years of age… However, there are a few issues that need addressing with the new machine. For one, it has no COM…

D’oh!
/me wanders inanely around house… sitting here I could hear that jangly ting-ting-ting akin to the annoying fella in the next seat anticipating future deafness with his level 11 iPod earbuds… Look about, check the daughters computer – off – check the radio alarmclock – off – ting, ting, ting… look out of the window…

Being of a certain age…
It’s not often that television steals away my very breath. Perhaps I’ve become too cynical. But tonight, after watching the first episode of Dr Who, series (gasp!) 28, which in itself was mostly brilliant and set the new Doctor into the storyline very well, I went over to BBC Three for the background story.

Seems I haven’t updated life at chez bish recently, so here’s a brief news reel of recent events. miss achieved her Grade 2 violin a few weeks ago, and we took the opportunity to upgrade her instrument from half to three-quarters size. We spent the best part of a Saturday afternoon at the Bristol Violin…

Buying into ethics
So Body Shop is to be bought by L’Oreal. As ethical chocolate producer Green and Blacks was bought up last year by Cadbury Schweppes. Ethical shopping is becoming big business, and big business is watching, waiting and waging a successful takeover campaign. Perhaps it’s me, but those two events seem to reflect a desire to…
