Time	Event
1:31p	Hmmmmm. That's Not Right. Having done all the dusting and cleaning in the living-room (and H having reassembled and removed the old non-functioning printer/scanner from the dining-table), I finally set up our new printer/scanner and it is very nice and shiny. Except that it won't turn on. Oooops. It's definitely plugged in. The adaptor light is on. But when I press the power button... nada. Zip. Zilch. I am a little annoyed. Oh, well! I'll wait until H comes back from today's band engagement to see if he has any better luck with it. Edit: Ahhh, got it! I'd plugged the USB cable in prematurely. It's on and making lots of interesting noises. Unfortunately I can't do any more than set the language/country preferences as someone (guess) has disconnected my CD and DVD drives, meaning I can't install the software right now. Never mind.

7:10p	Nice Job This has been a very productive weekend. In order to get some of our household tasks cleared, I decided to apply my reporting schedule logistics to my home life and drew up a list of tasks on Excel, along with some (achievable) dates by which to finish them. First up was doing about six months' worth of filing and a quarter's worth of account loading onto the computer. Next was replacing our printer/scanner. Have got the new one up and running and the software installed, while H has advertised the old one for parts on Freecycle. Yay! I know the new one is a Photosmart, but I was still gobsmacked by the quality of the test photo I printed. Which was of H and me on Mam Tor. Speaking of which, I have finally written up on our Peak District weekend. Links below if you're interested. Part I Part II Have also done five loads of washing and a shitload of dusting and cleaning. Feel very virtuous. And tired. (1 Comment | Comment on this)
