Hamlet moves so beautiful walking through the flowers.

The new laptop will be called tart. She's small, cute, friendly, versatile, gets around, has lots of interfaces, is keen to get into everything, will (initially) dual-boot Windows and Linux (reinstallation time! woo. yay.) and she has underwear (a base unit) but doesn't like wearing it because it's annoying and gets in the way. And she runs just as happily on a sixteen-volt IBM adapter (doesn't charge, does run) as she does on an eighteen-volt Compaq one.

Yesterday we went on another Homebase run. I got cupboard hinges and batteries, arkady got sandpaper, a sanding mask and silver polish and we got asters for redcountess to fill the spaces in the garden. And I bought ( lovely flowers for Arkady. )
