Yesterday was my birthday, and pretty hectic, in the middle of Fairtrade Fortnight, with a stall at the Presybyterian church (a fair trade church – wow!) in the morning, and people calling into the shop for Traidcraft supplies in the afternoon, so I didn’t open my cards & stuff until the evening. I’d mused about a Macbook but thought it would be too extravagant, so I wasn’t expecting more than chocolates and maybe a Neil Young CD. I realize now that I was actually at home when Fabian, our friendly local Parcelforce man brought the wonderful machine but I’d convinced myself it was MJ’s new Perl book in a vastly oversized Amazon box and forgotten all about it, so it really was a complete surprise.
The only thing it won’t do is play the Scrabble disc that came with today’s paper, so I’ll switch back to the dark side for that… May the force be with you.
