… this morning. <\/p>\n

But that’s enough about my personal habits, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

This morning I was awake bright and early (for me, anyway) and after a rushed breakfast Caliburn and I hit the road for Montlucon, the Auchan, and the new computer which I had mentioned yesterday.<\/p>\n

Mind you, on the way to the Auchan I had another think. <\/p>\n

I remember that it had always been my plan at one time to buy one of these small notebook computers for travelling – lightweight, extremely portable, and the battery lasts for hours.<\/p>\n

Not much in the way of facilities, but back at home, have an external screen, DVD recorder, mouse and keyboard for when I\u2019m working at my desk. And had I not had a similar emergency in the UK last time, that would have been exactly what I would have done as well. <\/p>\n

Musing on this thought, I wandered around the informatique<\/em> section of the Auchan where they had a the huge selection of notebooks. One thing that caught my eye was an Acer Aspire 1 \u2013 500GB of hard drive and 4gb of RAM, on offer at just \u20ac299. <\/p>\n

Further enquiries revealed that they were sold out and there was only the display model left. And if I would take that, they would do me 10% off. Do bears go to picnics in the woods?<\/p>\n

So now I\u2019m the owner of a new lightweight notebook and a new keyboard. And believe it or not, there\u2019s a DVD reader somewhere around here. There\u2019s also a flat-screen that works off 12-volt over there on the bench, a mouse and an external keyboard somewhere too.<\/p>\n

So I returned back here ready to start to work on my new toy, and the blasted internet is down.<\/p>\n

Now there’s a surprise!<\/p>\n
