Dear Mr. Hop

I'm no computer expert but I'm pretty sure when a computer takes 30 hours to run a disk check before it starts thats not a good thing, so all blog posts, random emails ( yes I confess its me that emails about that money transfer service in Africa that's just waiting for you to give me all your details (actually speaking of which I had a great one the other day that claimed I had won the English lottery amazing considering A) I don't actually play the lottery and B) I don't live in England) and viewings of the new series of lost have been postponed until the computer is either fixed or destroyed in a fit of rage although considering I have about as much rage as a shrew that's not really an option.

Filled with rage! (and biscuits)

Anyway this has meant that while we had planned to travel to the North of the lake to do some bird and nature watching, or go to Osaka to research hotels ( and probably look for a new computer) its actually turned into a mammoth session on Zelda the phantom hourglass, a game that when I'm not playing it I'm thinking about how to play it and wen I am playing it I'm thinking about how I shouldn't be playing it... or something like that anyway.
