l jokingly said last night l wouldn't sleep as Mez and Mick left about eleven o' clock last night, and 'twas true.
Yesterday was a very strange but exciting day. At lunch with Mum in Accy, l told her my broadband modem had arrived in the post. l also told her how rubbish my ten year old laptop was compared with Yvonne's from the P.D.S's. l said l was tempted to spend some of my dwindling savings on buying a new one. Mum kindly said she'd buy it for me. Well it sort of keeps me out of mischief [ish.]
Back from town, l was frustrated to find l couldn't get the new modem to fit in the old laptop and was just on my way to the p.c. shop, when who should pop up to see how l was managing after reading yesterday's blog- Mez! A quick chat in the shop revealed that the guy had mended my laptop, and said there was no connection and it wouldn't take broadband anyway!!! Tears before teatime? Not with Mezzer on the case.......
Next stop was to Chez Mez, for me to get giddy at the speed of broadband and to see if l liked a p.c. rather than a laptop. After much oohhhing and aahhing, l was informed she knew of a very good deal going.
Calls to the computer place, Mum, and Mick in The Stag.
Half past four. Computer place at Simonstone closes at five.
Wagons, learner drivers, hump back bridges, unmanned level crossings.
Whoooooooooooooosssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
With Mez at the wheel we made it easily, with Mick leaping from the car whilst we parked to get his foot in the door just before five. l'm not going to gloat, because like l said yesterday l'm technophobic. l can talk for hours about the importance of Channel to female emancipation, but computers- right over my bonce! l was told to keep quiet. lt looks great, and what people said who know, l've got a great bargain, as well as a whole lot of goodies, also blagged by Mick.
Back to The Stag for a much needed pint. Rindy Towers by six o'clock. Nothings ever simple. My old laptop was upstairs overlookin' 'ducks'n' geese.' This was impossible because the extention l had wasn't suitable for broadband. After much hard work on behalf of Mez and Mick, and a short break for a Chinky and a few brews they eventually got back to their own lives going up for eleven o'clock.
I was up and running, and knew how to get into Accy Web by myself, so that's all that mattered! l can't thank them enough, it was a whirl wind and l'm very grateful to them both for their kindness.
Eleven hours later, l'm still speeding the super highway in my dresing gown.
Only draw back was, my usual chat chums weren't in the chatroom last night and l fear l may be on the super highway to Coventry, for getting my own back after the webcam fraud.
Lol.
