No reference to covid_19 this time. Too scary.

The laptop - Crowley, his name is Crowley - had to go in to the shop because of a nasty habit of going to sleep uninvited. I am finally back on the 10 year old and no, they don't make them like they used to. In some ways this is good. In other ways, not so good. Still, better than trying to keep up with the world via phone. 

Oh, the 10 year old doesn't have an H key, just.a little plastic nub. Makes for interesting typing. Certain other keys seem to be in odd places. And there is no room to download the latest Word so I'm using the 2007 version - also interesting.

But Flamingo chapter 20 has resumed and is off to visit the beta tonight. For a while I thought I may never write again so even a string of 'not there yet' comments are welcome. Maybe post next week ... nonono, not tempting the muses and their evil sense of humour.

I've been there. Hang in. I've never yet known it to be true.

*hugs*

Good to hear you've been able to work on Flamingo!
Hope your laptop gets fixed soon.

Crowley is a brilliant name for a laptop.

Yep, I know that feeling and it is awful.

I’m very glad the chapter is visiting the beta and look forward to reading it when it has finished cooking.

I hope you get 'Crowley' going again soon. It's awful when the bits of hardware we rely on so much start to fail. It almost feels like losing a limb.
How did we cope before?
Ah yes - pens an paper. Ye olden days. ;D
