Andy's bright ideas.

Sunday was a great party at rustica's place. Now she's come of age and has been in her cottage for five years, and we all drank Sabrage champagne to celebrate. I even had a turn at removing the top of the bottle using the sword - great fun!

Before the party I fitted a wireless network, which took almost 5 minutes. Afterwards I managed to transfer the contents of the disk in her computer to a new and much larger one (250G instead of 20G), so that it boots and has all the original software installed. ( Here's the technical bit )

We visited friends in Stony Stratford, in company with other friends from Surrey, had a great dinner and drank a toast to "The Professor".

The temporary dressing in the tooth (pending the full root filing) collapsed and IT HURTS again, (apart from the irritating gaping chasm). Maths doesn't quite have concepts to define how much I enjoy pain. Infinitesimals are along the right lines ... Nah, large negative numbers work.

So I will have a visit to the dentist Thursday if I am lucky enough to get an emergency appointment. After a setback in my work I had hoped for an early start and an uninterrupted day - some chance!

This evening, after a very sober Christmas I had a few glasses of wine, so shouldn't risk painkillers full of paracetamol, and ibuprofen doesn't seem to be doing much to help so far. [sigh].
