There was a super thunderstorm last night, and today my Dell AC adaptor is dead. It was plugged into a board which theoretically has a surge protector, but I guess it isn't very good; I can't think of anything else which would explain why yesterday it was working and today it is not. Better than having the actual computer fried, anyway.
I've sent off for a new one ($11 on eBay); we'll see.
All this is a long-winded way of explaining that access to my Dell, with its ancient and tottering battery, is limited at the moment, so I haven't got the Yellow Hobbit's email address handy. Yellow Hobbit sent me a mighty box of glorious yarn, so with that and the stash gleanings of debka-notion and Mrs shirei-shibolim, I'm so well-equipped! It's quite quite marvellous. Thank you!
So I am using my dear little Eee PC to blog this and read the internets while having post-Shabbat tea and ice-cream, and then I am going to listen to the BBC and crochet. Niceness.
