I have just had a couple of days without my computer, windows crashed on Thursday evening and I have had to start again from scratch, luckily, as windows collapsed, the Samsung software saved all my user account so when I re-installed windows and got up and running again, I had a folder on my C drive called windows old which contained all my documents, pictures and music, all 36 GB's! How you are supposed to back that much up God only knows.
It has taken me most of today to get it useable again, I have had to download a huge number of updates to get back to where I was on Thursday, don't you just love Microsoft, roll on cloud computing!!
I have bought some over winter broad bean seeds which I have planted today, it will be interesting to see if they germinate over the winter, or, as I suspect will happen, they will either rot or the mice will get them.
Last Wednesday evening we went to the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham to see the Temptations, quite amazing, the one original member left started the band 47 years ago! It was a great night, everybody was on their feet dancing, there is hope for us 50 somethings yet!
