The leak under the sink in the kitchen has been but we still don’t have hot water or heating. Yes we had a leak in the new kitchen which we discovered on Sunday. Luckily it had been caught by a plastic box we use for keeping cleaning stuff in such as brillo pads, new dish clothes, etc, etc. It did mean much of that had to be replaced but we weren’t faced with water everywhere. The leak was from the pipes going to our washing machine. The washers were faulty that had been fitted or were wrongly installed. Either way it meant calling the council out to fix the problem which was sorted by Monday evening. My hat is off to the councils swift response to the problem.
Well I am now waiting the delivery of my parts to build my new computer. I have gone for the I7 3770 processor from Intel. I could have went for the K series for overclocking but thought that I wasn’t likely to do that so the extra money would be a waste. That will fit in nicely in the Asus P8ZZ77 V LX. With the SSD (solid state drive), 8GB memory, HD7850 graphics card all going into a Zalman Z11 mid case running Windows 7. It should be a great system with loads of power to drive any games I want to run.
Yeah that could distract me from writing as has been the case over the past couple of weeks. I won’t make excuses as I would only be lying to myself if I did. Oblivion is proving to be a rather addictive gaming experience. Even wile at work I have found that I have been thinking about what I have to do in the game. Saying that may sound weird but I find the same when reading a good book. Rather with a book I find myself thinking over what the main character might do next. I suppose we all do that though, right.
