Is it picks out when there is a small problem and makes it worse. My car decided that enough was enough and the battery gave up on me on Saturday morning. Normally I'd shrug that off but this was the one day a year I may have got to see my wider family and for the last 2 years I haven't been and so I was determined to go but was really worried about the overnight forecast which was for between 2 and 4 inches of snow!! However I guessed that if I got up at 6:30 and it was snowing well the day wouldn't happen but as it happened rain had been and so all was set. I was going to go and get the HS1 Javelin Train to Stratford (Where the Olympics were held) and walk to the School (I helped to build years ago) and on the way have a slap up breakfast.
However, I got in the car only to have it just click and then whir at me :-( I tried it a few more times but it's pretty obvious what it is. I rang the garage (eventually) and they will hopefully come out tomorrow or Tuesday to sort it out.
So on Saturday I eventually took myself to the Post Office to pay in some cheques and then but some Wine Gums that I then consumed on a walk down to the Doctor's surgery to put in my repeat prescription. I then tried to call Mrs. F. as agreed but couldn't get through - she was vacuuming. So I walked home and then we agreed to go out for a spot of lunch which was nice.
I did next to nothing today for some reason I'd knocked all the get up and go out of myself but I think it is really that I was disappointed about Saturday and also just a little down. I'm focussing on getting my record collection sorted out as I've realised what a bad job I have done cataloguing and indexing it these past months I've been making all the vinyl, cassettes and CDs electronically accessible. So far it seems that whilst I've transferred the music successfully I've been less than successful in identifying the year, genre, album and even the proper name of the band or artist. A brief indexing audit has thrown up a lot of anomalies I need to deal with but I have a nice bit of software caller tagscanner that helps a lot although it does like to crash once a day on me. It takes a good hour to re-build the index which is a nuisance but once done I can do multiple changes and it automatically does certain tasks for me too - capitalisation, file renaming etc.
It will be a week on from the interview and I wait to hear what may have happened. I spoke to Mrs. F. about some ideas I have to progress things and will see what she makes of them in the weeks to come.
