So many good plans - then reality

I came home from the office with the evening nicely scheduled:

• Eat
• Work Meeting
  
• Pray
• Letter for Church Magazine
• TV-"Waking the dead".
• Review writeup of Placement

Forget it!

Reality is that the loft latch is broken. After much fiddling I decide that I never did understand how it was supposed to work and a new one would be required. So I have nailed it shut - just for now. I can't leave it open because someone will walk into it and injure themselves - most probably ME. Normally this would not be a problem, but this week I was expecting to get stuff out - for permanent removal, and put stuff back, for later permanent removal. I too keep loads of stuff. My treasures are usually old and nearly useless, but after Friday, theres one thing I am keeping.

Last Friday I went to our friends mother to try to fix her PC. Our friends are in Tanzania, and e-mail is her main way of keeping in touch. It was a lot older than I was expecting. It took me a while to work out how to get the cover off. I haven't seen one like that for about 6 years (and it was being thrown out then). Anyway after removing the hard disk and cables and putting them back (the logical way) the system booted fine. The old PC I have works fine, its just too old for the modern applications, but it will do browsing and e-mail - no problem. So I'll keep it - just in case she, or someone like her need a replacement.

With my plans for the evening, and perhaps the week disrupted already, I'm listening to Norah Jones - "not too late" which arrived today. Then I'll get on with catching up - as always.
