I had a text this morning reminding me I have a dental appointment on Thursday. It is going to be costly this time, as we have work planned.

Then I saw a computer engineer when he visited the shop.. He listened sympathetically to my laptop woes and told me that it’s likely the cost of repair will probably be so high it will be easier to buy a new laptop. That’s not really the news I wanted to hear. He’s going to look at it for me next time he visits the shop and see if anything can be done.

As he doesn’t actually sell computers it is probably a reliable opinion. Reliable but not welcome.

That’s it. I’ve now run out of enthusiasm.

Maybe I will find it again tonight.

Or maybe the run of bad things will continue with a third depressing occurrence.

“Good morning, Pooh Bear,” said Eeyore gloomily. “If it IS a good morning,” he said. “Which I doubt,” said he.
