I think my laptop might be dead.
Since starting the OS reinstall the laptop just shows a flashing cursor. No hard drive or DVD drive noise.
Hmmm, annoying.

It did ask what to boot from, the dvd drive, and then it spun up for a bit and then went quiet. Nothing has happened since. The last reinstall was problematic, with many faults and the service packs wouldn't install, hence trying the OS reinstall again.

I gave up and shut down the laptop. I then ran a BIOS diagnostic, changed the boot up device order and tried again. It is now installing the OS!
Yay!
Yay!

I'd jump up and down with joy, but I'm too tired..
I just had a sort of fusion dinner. Stir fried veg and noodles, and a naan bread with mango chuntney. It's that stage where I'm using up leftovers, and too busy/tired to go and shop....
Now trying to summon up the energy to wash up.
Still trying....

Isn't that my job?
Ok, I have a working laptop again. Nothing on it but it lives!
Will be a long night setting it up again.
Dinner time now.

I think saving all my washing up for when you're here would be a bit mean.
And I'd run out of plates.
All done now, and I'm tucked up in bed, resting my spre ankle. Typical, I strap my wrists up in tubigrip to alleviate the twingy pain I'm getting at work, and they are fine, but my weak ankle flares up.
Someone on YACF suggested I just keep applying tubigrip until I look like a mummy....

Thank you for asking, Arch. She is still in hospital. She has had an x ray on her spine, and awaiting the results. The most likely plan is that she will go to a Convalescent Home for a few weeks, before being sent home with a Care Package in place with nurses visiting during the day, and more help with meals, bathing etc. Sounds sensible to me.

I hope she gets well soon , Speicher.
Still using my phone to post, going to be a long night I think.
