At LAST!

Weight this morning: 15 st 6.5 lbs

Let's check those milestones

[x] 15 st 7 lb (15 1/2st, 2st to go, 10 lb since Jan 5 2004)
[x] 15 st 6.5 lb (under 15 1/2 st for the first time in about a decade)
[ ] 15 st 5 lb (215 lb)
[ ] 15 st 4 lb (25 lb to go, 75 lb since Aug 1 2002)
[ ] 15 st 3 lb (1 st since Jan 5 2004)
[ ] 15 st 2 lb (5 1/2 st since Aug 1 2002, 15 lb since Jan 5 2004)

Oh, and I now weigh less than 75% of what I did on Aug 1 2002.

Of PowerBooks and Power Supplies

My much-loved G3 PowerBook threw a tantrum this afternoon: to be precise its PSU packed up, leaving me with 2 hours of battery charge, and then oblivion.

My life would appear to have been saved by VIS Apple Parts and Repairs, who have a nice little eBay store, and not only do new PSU's for £20, ship the same day, on receipt of credit card details over the phone.

Colour me impressed. And relieved.

Penguin House

Can I draw folks attention to this post in shaynemadhu's journal? It's, as she says, "a proposal for a home for physically-disabled, mentally-capable adults, or rather, for a charity to create such houses."
