So since last weekend I ordered a new Tefal Avanti kettle and matching toaster via Amazon. The kettle arrived the following day, the toaster the day after (while I got an email to expect it 4 days later!)

Prior to visiting my chiropractor I went to pick up my prescription inhaler (which I had ordered via Boots online website). It wasn't ready, on checking the site both this request and the previous one in May were still Pending! After this I went to the library to collect a reserved Ukulele song book (with CD), then to get my spine cracked!

I've also ordered a Raspberry Pi, power supply and Pibow case. I don't know if they will arrive before I leave for Worldcon or not. The current delivery times are 3-18 weeks! according to the websites.

As I ordered a Raspbery Pi I needed a keyboard for it, so I went to PC World and discovered they weren't stocking the model I wanted. It was a nice walk on a sunny day though.

I finally got my ticket confirmations, and have checked via US Airways that all is OK (it is). Except they have my name as Bernardi Bernardi which I will have to check in to before I leave.

I got a note from my ISP that my mailbox had reached it's size limit and I needed to delete some messages. So I downloaded the latest release of Pegasus Mail as it's the best took I know for email management. I downloaded all the mail on the server (which was over 3 year's worth) and deleted all but the last year worth.

Thursday was my parents wedding anniversary, so I planned to visit this week end, but then I remembered I have dancing on the last Saturday of the month! So I came over on Friday after work, we had a nice celebratory dinner then watched the Olympics Opening Ceremony from 9:00pm to 12:50am! I should be taking the number 23 bus back to Crawley in order to get to the dance at 7pm.

About an hour ago I got an unexpected visit from my sister and niece wondering if I was OK! My phone has been having intermittent ringing issues and they hadn't been able to get hold of me! I will have to post more frequently just to make sure everyone knows I'm OK.

So in the last few weeks I've seen "The Sorcerers Apprentice" at the cinema, I've been re-reading a number of series, starting with Anita Blake, as a result I've been reading ebooks on my iPod. I've also been listening to podcasts also on my iPod.

I regraded my ISP which reduced my monthly outlay but caused my website at www.dendarii.co.uk to disappear, as I have now only got 100MB of space, luckily I had just mirrored everything to www.iiradned.co.uk and I have now got my site back and my disk space to less than 100MB.

On the last Wednesday of last month I had to attend a Back to Work seminar, which suggested options, most of which I have been doing already. Then got a very cheap day return to London so I could got the the Science Museum and the Space Lates. I even built an explorer robot!

My eyes were due for their bi-annual checkup, they have actually got slightly better. I didn't need new glasses but since I'm on jobseekers allowance I could get long distance lenses for free, so I got a spare set.

For the last week or so I've been having problems with my phone / adsl internet. Currently the speed is so low that video streaming is impossible, though text browsing and email still get through. We've been unable to find out why so I've had to order a 3G dongle for emergencies.

Last week my electric kettle cracked so I bought a new stainless steel one from Argus, at only £9.99 it appears to be excellent value.

This weekend is my niece's birthday so I'll be seeing her and the rest of the family then.
