We used to enjoy a good brand of marmalade back in the day. Can hardly imagine how good it must be if it is hand-crafted at home!

I continue trying to juggle my assorted cans of worms, and failing a lot. Sofa shopping and auction previewing were both fruitless, didn't even bother attending the auction. Gosh I don't want to spend my life haunting stores and garage sales!

Laptop computer died last week. Angry about the junky swelling batteries they all come with.   Decided to pull out the old peripherals and get a new tiny desktop. Nice young fellow at the shop set it up and told me how to put a Linux Mint partition on it so it will be dual-boot.   Have not plugged it in yet, I guess I have too many memories of teeth-gnashing sessions wrassling with Windows, even if set up, it won't be quick to get functional.

And unpacking. Set up utility shelves, unpacked 7 boxes of books, and glad to see them all. Also glad to have stored old computer screen, keyboard, mouse, speakers. Higher quality and didn't need to be trashed.
