Pond

The electrician's just finished connecting up the power supply for the pump for the new water feature in the pond. Denise is away at the moment, so I've tested that it works, but I've left it to her to connect up the hose and do the final placement of the pump, so she can do a grand switch-on. The pond's full of frogs and tadpoles, so I hope this pump isn't going to suck any of the smaller ones in and mince them up ... everybody go "eeew!" I'll post a short video clip of it going once it's all set up. I took a couple of pictures of two frogs sitting side by side looking straight up out of the water, and I'll post that once I've put the phone software on this new laptop.

Oh, yeah, the old Gericom laptop is trying to die at the moment (screen keeps going blank) so we replaced it with a nice cheap Acer one. It's good, but there are still bits of software that I need to install before we're fully up to speed. When the old laptop started acting up, I moved our iTunes database onto my desktop upstairs, which can be a bit of a pain, as I now have to go up to my study to update my iPod. I might consider moving onto the new laptop: should have plenty of space with a 250 GB hard drive. It took all day to move it up to the desktop over our wireless network, so I'm not sure I can be bothered.
