Yesterday we
made a rare shopping trip into Lancaster.
The main point of the trip was to go to a butcher who sells game. We duly
bought a pack of mixed diced game which is in the process of becoming a
casserole for this evening. We also bought some quail which has gone into the
freezer for later on.
As these
purchases were speedily done, & our search for calendars & diaries was
fruitless, we decided to go on to our local PC World to look at computers.
We were pleasantly
surprised by the staff at the shop. By repute, PC World has rather surly,
ignorant staff, not the most helpful people. This wasn’t the case at Lancaster. They were extremely
helpful & quickly sorted out the sort of computer we needed for our
services. Needless to say we ended up buying one. Or rather we put in an order
for one. We were told it would be Thursday, possibly even next Tuesday before
it would be ready with it being so near Christmas.
It has to be
admitted it is a nuisance having to attach the laptop to printer & scanner
when they’re needed. Our patience is running out. We’re finding so many things that
are easier to do on desktop. We seem to have so many scraps of paper covered in
scrawl lying around, things we would normally put on computer.
You can
imagine my surprise to get a telephone call this morning to say the new
computer has arrived. We just have to go into town to collect it.
We have to go
to the dentist – just for check-ups – this lunchtime. We were intending to go
on & do the food shop afterwards, but maybe now it will be another trip
into Lancaster & PC World. We’ll see.
