Lorraine's blog

A little while back I made myself a promise to blog more often. I truly meant it as well, but a glitch in my life said no.

[More:]

I sorted out the glitch and then my computer crashed. I didn’t even get the blue screen of death. Oh no, my computer went straight to a black screen with a single line of white text in the top left corner. Using my husband’s laptop to search online, I discovered that line of text meant, in effect, too bad, goodbye computer!

Fortunately, my daughter was staying with me at the time and she has fewer fears than I when it comes to the mysteries of dos.

She retrieved my files from the black screen (I have no idea how) and saved them to her ipod. It took nearly two weeks to rescue the actual computer. I don’t know what she and her boyfriend did, but the computer now works again.

This time I’m making no promises (the gods of computers hate me) but I’m going to try again at this blogging lark.

Hmm, that most probably means I’ll be back again in about three months.
