Humph!

I'm disgruntled. Laptop's doing some mad thing, you know when you're trying to do what you want to and there's something madly going on in the background? Like it's trying to load something HUUUUUGE and it won't let you type until it's blooming well finished? Apparently it needs defragging. Ooh, get you!

Knitting group was the living end last night. I don't think I could have upset one person there any more if I had tried, and I wasn't trying in the least! That's the thing with people you don't know very well isn't it? It's just hard work sometimes. Who would think knitting would lead to stress? Might not go any more, I'm one of the youngest at 44 anyway *sigh*

Right, well I have company coming tomorrow so I had better do something to make this tip presentable. I wondered what the horrid smell was in the sitting room and then I realised it was the bouquet we got from Tescos at the weekend. They have those ornamental cabbage plants in them, that look like roses you know? Smells terrible in here :P

Husband's gone away for a bit at least so there's just me and the littl'un which is usually a lot more relaxed. "And breathe ....." as my yoga teacher used to say :D

Edited to add: I found out how to de-frag but it didn't really make the computer work any better. I passed a few pleasant minutes watching it though.

Re knitting group...hehehe, I attend a U3A (for older people) spanish language class and know what you mean by "upsetting people" I was always putting my foot in it until I adapted to them and learnt to keep my mouth shut, lol!.
I'm the baby of that class too :oops:

Isn't it just heaven when 'they' go away;) Mine comes home a week next Saturday...bless him :)

Breathing's good, at least I've always found it to be so.

As for de-fragging your C drive, windows can do it for you if you go into the control window and do a bit of mooching about.

I'm not on my own computer at the minute or I'd be a little more specific.

At times of stress I sometimes realise I've been holding my breath. Must stop that.

Thanks, I just added a note to say that I did go onto the control panel bit and found what I needed to do, but to be honest this laptop runs at 24mbps most of the time so it needs throwing in the bin probably ;)

Ah yes, the computer/bin interface situation.
