Flashing Lights

Very happy to see a line of green LEDs again.

~ A year ago today I was reading thrillers ~ 

Coiled

I use an extension cord to power my washing machine in the bathroom. I had to buy a new one this morning as my old one shorted out. The loud poof was rather scary! 

~ A year ago today I was watching a cat watch fish ~ 

Storage Box

A new hard drive I ordered online arrived today. First thing I did was a complete backup of my Documents folder. Still have to tackle the photographs.

~A y ear ago today I was driving past a construction site ~ 

Cat v Printer

I watched this video again today - had to show my colleague that his customer sounds exactly like this cat. Because of my issues with office equipment I completely relate. Youtube says the video has been watched ten million times - I'm sure half of those are me. It always makes me laugh! 

~ A year ago today my car got new tyres ~ 

Tablet

 My new toy! 

~ A year ago today I was window-shopping ~ 

Recharging

Cape Town has had power outages all day. Fortunately I wasn't affected. But when I got home I plugged in my camping lantern to make sure it's fully charged and ready to go, just in case I need it later.
~ A year ago today I was watching cooking shows ~ 

Circuitboards

My colleague decided to dismantle a broken TV today. It was interesting to see what's inside the box.
~ A year ago today one of my succulents was in flower ~ 

Black Out Friday

We had a frustrating work day today as our Head Office was without electricity until 3.30pm. Makes one realize just how much we rely on power coming out of the plugs in our walls.
~ A year ago today I got my lunch from The Kitchen ~ 

Giant Screen

New gear in the office! Not mine, unfortunately. Coveting it big time though.
~ A year ago today I was trying a new product ~

+ -

One thing I love about my car is the control for the sound system on the steering wheel. Today I went for loud.
~ A year ago today I was lunching on salad ~ 

Chat

I've used WhatsApp for a while now, but only just learnt about group chats. My friend Michele was using it today to update friends and family on her cat's health. It's a brilliant way of sharing information. Smartphones are awesome.
~ A year ago today we won an award at work ~ 

S3 Mini

New toy, busy charging.
~ A year ago today I was fiddling with a faulty memory card ~ 

An Emotional Time

The other day I found some old mp3 tracks I'd forgotten I had. Amongst them was the Hothouse Flowers' Songs from the Rain. OMG I love that album... have been playing it non-stop.
~ A year ago today I was admiring some aloes ~ 

Cell

At last, a new battery for my cellphone. The old one is kaput!
~ A year ago today I said goodbye to a friend ~ 

Unlocked

My camera has been telling me my memory cards are locked when they aren't. All I'd managed to establish was that it was intermittent and that it was the camera's problem not the cards'. Thank goodness for my handy colleague - he managed to mcgyver them with little pieces of sticky tape to successfully fool the camera. Genius!
~ A year ago today I bobotie for supper ~

Black Box

I did computer backups today. Work, home, everything!
~ A year ago today I was eating toast ~

Plugged In

It has been good to be online again after my holiday break.
~ A year ago today I had delicious sushi for supper ~

Nest of Cables

These days I feel like I am almost constantly charging one device or another.
~ A year ago today I was having steak and spinach for supper ~

Wireless

More shopping, more money spent, yet another gadget. New router to replace my old one which has been acting up for the last while.
~ A year ago today I was listening to an old favourite ~

eReader!

I took the plunge and decided to get a Kindle. It arrived today. Yay, a new toy to play with!
~ A year ago today I was baking cookies ~
