With the rise in the price of bitcoins I ordered Magz her laptop as well as a new SSD drive for my computer from the Bitcoinstore.com site. Yes it will mean paying the import tax again and a lot more than last time though it is worth it. After all I mined the coins on my computer for nothing. Well you could say it cost the electricity that I used to run the computer but in my terms it cost nothing. So that means I get Magz her new laptop with all the bells and whistles plus my SSD for the import tax which is a real saving. Five hundred gigs of space for a main drive is just what I need as the sixty I have is already almost full. And as I have said in the past Magz needs a new computer as hers is getting a bit stressed under the load placed on it. I did get her an external drive a couple of years ago but even that is filling up fast. The new machine comes with a full terabyte of space. That and the external should keep her rolling for a bit yet. Add in the i7 with a dedicated HD7870M graphics she’ll have the power to use the BD drive to full HD brilliance. I sound like a add, hehehe.
I have to start planting some more seed this weekend. I have carrots to plant and need to look through my stock to see what else I might give a go this year. Coriander is a cert maybe even some broccoli. I’ll see what I have. My onions have started to spout though no sign of the corn or potatoes. While my trees are starting to show spring is finally with us. I t has been a long winter and it is good to finally see the sun bringing some warmth to the soil.

Magz posted the graphics card back to XFX yesterday. We had to wait till I got paid naturally but at least it is away now. Sadly it won't be till the end of the month before I get a replacement. That is if XFX hold up to their side of things and replace the faulty card. They should though that doesn't always mean that a company will up hold their obligations when it comes to these sorts of things. Time will tell.
My garden is certainly spring into life now. Most of the seeds I planted have now shown their heads. The recent sunny spell has help a lot. Don't ask which have come through yet as I haven't marked them so I'm not sure what is in which pot. My potatoes still haven't sprung forth yet but I'm sure that in the next few days that should change. Well with the expected hot weather over the coming weekend that is expected they should. My corn has still not come to anything and my tomatoes look as if they may fail as well. That might mean another trip to the garden centre over the summer holiday which is only a couple of weeks away. That is something to look forward to.
I also got my overtime that I worked the other week. As you know that was last weeks little crisis. Well it all worked out for the best so that good. Magz has already spent the extra earnings getting me a new keyboard for my birthday which is tomorrow. Well it is actually from her and Tammy. Calum got me an new modular PSU for my computer. I've wanted one for ages but never had the money and with my recent graphics failure it is a good idea to replace the one I had. So that was a good gift. The new keyboard is also great. It's a Microsoft Sidewinder X4.
