Managed to escape for the earlier train, so now have time to kill until Mrs ND finishes work.

Just say no, what excuse did she use to warrant it?

You don't know my landlady... and no... I won't be saying no.

My new garage shelving arrived yesterday.

I'll assemble it tomorrow.

It'll be today, tomorrow. Today will be yesterday.

Then to find new inner tube or repair kit must be on kitchen side at home, looks like I'm walking dog

That's a real git when that happens

My Landlady is visiting today... for the first time in about 6 years. I've got lots of cleaning to do!

I hope she's not coming to inform me that she's decided to sell up... this has been my home for 17 years and would like it to stay that way

Good luck!

Very wise: pace yourself so things don't get too exciting on one day.

Update; got told at 4.15 I have to work tomorrow.

So, assembly postponed.

There's an add on in Linux called "wine", which basically is a Windows emulator, and I can run my main "Windows specific" programmes through it seamlessly. Doesn't work for everything though.

If you're a bit nervous about taking the plunge though you can run Linux alongside Windows on your PC/laptop. It will create a separate partition on your drive and you can choose which operating system to launch at start up.

This will be very useful in case my programs are Windows-specific (never had to check before). It’ll be great to be able to run both original Windows and Linux as necessary without overwriting one.

Just remember to install windows first, if you install Linux first windows could overwrite the Linux boot loader when you install it.

Thanks for this. I’ve already got Windows on the PC so Linux will be next.

You can also try running it from a USB stick if you want.

This will be great for testing before committing.

If you don't use anything that is specifically and only Windows, Linux may be the way to go.

I think I’m definitely going to look into Linux and Windows emulator as I get very annoyed with Windows’ persistent idiosyncrasies. My PC seems to become slower and slower with every update.

Using Windows reminds me why I love my MacBook.

A very sunny and warm day, perfect for a ride... which didn’t happen as I was working down at the allotment getting it ready for the growing season (hopefully starting in a couple of weeks, yay!). Hoping to get out for a bimble at dawn tomorrow before the family get up. We’ll see how much motivation I have...

Mrs S and I have just enjoyed our first chiminea evening of the year tonight, and very pleasant it was too.
This involves sitting in front of a roaring chiminea on the patio, eating felafel based snacks, drinking unreasonable quantities of merlot, and listening to Rick Astley, Crowded House, ELO, and Amy MacDonald through the bluetooth speaker.
Mrs S is now snoring quietly on the couch, whilst I am catching up on the really important stuff on Cyclechat.
Tomorrow's planned ride may be delayed by an hour or two .
