Well no sooner than I posted last weeks post and I was hit by computer problems. Dust had built up in the graphics card causing it to overheat which meant I had to strip it out to give it a good clean. It’s amazing how much of a dust haven the inside of a computer can be. Luckily no damage was done and my system was up and running in no time. It does go to show that Friday the thirteenth still got me even if it was in such a minor way, hehehe.
The troubles with my fence post continue. I sorted it again on Saturday but yesterday as I came home from work I noticed it was again leaning out of place. I might mean I need to tighten up the bolts and put an extra nut on each of the bolts to act as a lock to hold them secure so they don’t loosen up again. Though I’ll also have to make sure I secure the existing ones more than I seem to have managed so far. I’m sure now though that I will need to replace the post in the summer as I can’t see it surviving another year, especially when the storms hit again.
Another thing to do this weekend is to try and come up with a poem for the latest competition at Absolute Write poetry forum. This one has the theme of visions, dreams or nightmares. So far I have had only half glimmers of ideas for it nothing solid so I have my work cut out. Maybe one of those little embers might find a bit of brush to burst into life, we’ll see. I have until February the fourteenth to come up with something and make it as good as I can so not loads of time when you throw work into the mix but enough. Add some gaming to the weekend and I have a busy time over the next couple of days.
