Weekend.

(Not as a perfect source of absolute truth, but as a generally good thing. Link copied from drplokta)

Put guttering around the shrine thing. Well, mostly, found I hadn't kept the cracked running outlet I thought would do, so have now ordered a new one. Why didn't whoever built the house (about seven years ago) use a make of guttering that one of the local builders' merchants, DIY shops, or plumbing specialists kept in stock and didn't need every bit ordered in? But the old guttering I'd taken down from the back of the house just fitted (it's in much shorter lengths in its new place, with a much smaller roof draining onto it, so the fact that it had bent too much to be where it was isn't as much of a problem).
Also ordered a mixing valve for the hot water system, because the old one is dripping, another new thing wrong with the hot water/heating system. :-( (The tanks that were replaced about a year ago were supposed to come with those bits, but didn't, so old one was reused. It's been ok till now though.)

Decided not to cycle fifteen miles through rain into Cambridge for Winter Ale Festival I'd forgotten about until crazyscot mentioned it. (I don't condone cycling while really drunk, but cycling with moderate amounts of alcohol is much safer for other people than driving, even if driving is still legal.)

Bought some seed potatoes and some things for making raised beds, and decided where they are going to go (with a greater variety of vegetables later, but potatoes to start with).

Bought a cheap keyboard and mouse in Maplins sale, and now had enough parts from upgrading computer to reassemble a complete unupgraded version (with CD drive that was given away on cam.misc, and grotty old 14" monitor with burn-in from an older machine). Windows doesn't start but needs older version reinstalling to be legal anyway, and I've forgotten the root password for the Linux installation, but it at least sort of works.
