I have been reading the latest blogs in my feed, and subseqently commented on one, and my computer went absolutely bonkers. It was opening webpage after webpage for about 5 minutes (I dread to think how many pages it had opened at the end of it all); when finally it decided it couldn't continue, had a little panic and beeped at me. Failing the Ctrl-Alt-Del function (which I tried a few times), I ended up having to restart the computer.

But this isn't the only weird IT issue I've had today. My usual computer has given up the ghost, taunting me with crazy error messages until I had to accept defeat and walk away. The technician (only a phone call away; they're quite useful really) says the hard drive has gone, rendering all my documents inaccessible.
I suppose I'm lucky it wasn't sparking at me, lol. Needless to say; it's been a very strange day, and I've decided this office is as mad as a box of frogs. But as you know; these things seem to happen to me. It's only been a couple of months since I blew up another computer (incidentally, it's the one I'm currently using to tell you this story!)
So, probably quite wisely; I decided I should put a distance between myself and

What I did learn today though, is that you get a free passport if you are over the age of 80. So that's... 55 more years until I'm eligible. And in that case, I shall hold off all my major travel until then, and reap the benefits :)
I had some pretty decent photos to go with my passport application, hooray! After years of looking pretty gormless on my passports (and having the guards chuckle too), I now take the time to make myself look gorgeous whenever I have to have photos taken. I first started doing this when I applied for my provisional driving license (I still haven't taken any lessons; I only use it for ID when buying alcohol - the UK are really tight on ID). The photos turned out okay too, except for my head looking a bit off centre. I must have a slouch!
And I'm officially back on the Weight Watchers wagon this week after gaining 1lb and weighing more than I did when I first collected my wedding dress.

Ah weight watchers... we have a love/hate relationship.
