At the beginning of the week I was notified that my ‘Poppy from the Moat’ was due to be delivered within the next two days. After a delay it turned up yesterday and upon opening the parcel I found the poppy was still slightly damp after several weeks residing in the ‘Tower Moat’. I am pleased with it and I am pondering on where  to plant it. A photo will follow in due course, today I was far to occupied with another of this weekend’s deliveries…

My new computer (a belated birthday present, mostly from Mr C) arrived and I was busily copying files from the old computer and installing a virus checker, office and publisher on the new computer.  What took up most of my time was trying to get my Outlook files copied across, on that front I have so far failed.  The files that I saved from the old computer are not the files with the data I need… The newer versions of Outlook work in a very esoteric way!! I will have to go back to the old computer and try to figure out exactly where all that data is stored.

Apart from my frustration with Outlook my new computer is a joy; it is fast, it doesn’t freeze and lock up and above all it has sound which I have been missing for many months. There will be a bit of a learning curve with Windows 8.1, but I will soon get to grips with that

As to the other deliveries they were all to do with Christmas…
