Do you always read instructions when you buy something new? Do you lay flat all the contents of flat-pack furniture before starting to assemble?
For me the answer to the latter is yes. Absolutely. No point in proceeding to sweat buckets over construction if all the bits aren't there. I've put together a 3 drawer, 2 cupboard, 4 shelf mammoth computer desk for old-fashioned tower and large monitor PC before. On my own, using walls and furniture as extra "pairs of hands" to assist in slotting pieces together. I'm very proud of my achievements, made much easier by the use of planning - laying out all pieces along with little pieces of paper indicating their letter or number on the corresponding instructions. Aren't I good?!
If I buy a hoover. They're pretty much all the same aren't they. Find the power plug, find the on switch and you're away. We can get by like that with a lot of stuff can't we. Kettles. Come on - you can't tell me you read the instructions meticulously for *that* do you? No, of course you don't. You're too parched to do that! LOL.
I couldn't work out why I couldn't burn my WAV files to a disc using Toast. WAV files are for PCs! How silly of me not to realize that fact until many, many, many tries to burn without success and eventually reading the bloody instructions for Toast - converting files. I did try and get an "audio CD" that will play on virtually anything, not just purely on this mac. I burned the first Help! Deluxe (Purple Chick) disc a few minutes ago and am listening to the result. Very nice it is too. BUT will it play on a normal CD player with what I think is an "AIFF" file, converted from a WAV file? I have no idea because I didn't read the instructions enough to know. LOL. Trial and error with me. Haha! If it doesn't play on Dee's CD player it's back to the drawing board to try and figure out just how to burn the rest.... I could always put each disc's files onto my portable drive, take them across to the PC and burn them as WAV files on that.... but that's just like too much bother. And I even have a lead which lets me easily switch from one screen to another on one machine too! How clever is that? Never used it yet, silly me. I get gadgets sometimes and just forget I've got 'em!!!
I've still got a lot to learn about using this mac. Both play mp3s. I didn't even think about the fact that my mac might not play or burn WAV files. I'll get it right eventually.
This Purple Chick set is very enjoyable! Lovely and clear. Love those tom-toms!! :)
Dentist for me tomorrow. This means I have to go out with the school kids on the bus. Probably no seat. Standing in a crowd. Most of them get off the bus when we get off the main avenue to go to St. Bede's School or The Sixth Form College so I will get a seat before too long if the traffic jam queues are not too bad leading up to them.
I need to get some boxes for the Jelly Babies and Jam for my friends from the Post Office after work. I'm hoping to get out early at 4.
The harmonies in the song Yes It Is are so complex! I just adore those voices all together like that. It's just fantastic!!
I've been a good girl and have been eating my pills at the right time and the correct amounts. It's been so easy to miss them out because time flies around and I just forget sometimes.
I love the lead vocal on Bad Boy too. John's voice is superb!
I told Cavern friends about Paul and Liz's wedding being tomorrow (Friday) and gave them info about them being together in the U.S.A. and how they've found themselves a great new home! Tonight I sent a couple of Jacquie cards. One for Paul and Liz and another, special one for Liz, which will arrive at 1 a.m. GMT, in about an hour and a half. It's still before 6 p.m. in Cincinnatti, so it's early for the wedding. The timing of it doesn't matter. I just want them both to know I'm thinking about them a lot and wishing them good luck and a happy, happy day. Chances are they won't see the cards because they'll be far too busy either having fun with friends or preparing last minute things for the wedding day. I don't mind if the cards don't get picked up because they're busy. It really doesn't matter. I have just wanted to express my love to them both. I'm feeling quite a bit cut up about not being able to be there actually but I did, happily, assist the groom and "Best Woman" in a special way, by way of a wedding present, to help everything along towards a perfect day.
Managed to sign into my other email address mail box online that I couldn't access because of my PC laptop being out of order for internet for the time being. So.... I've got lots of emails generated when you, my friends, have left me lots of comments. There were a couple I'd missed....(one from Paul at the beginning of this month, letting me know he'd moved home from UK to US - quite an important piece of info to miss LOL)..... so I'm going to have another Comments on Comments entry here soon to catch up with you all. You take the time and effort to send me little notes by way of the comment button (below) so it's only right that I should acknowledge them. I should really delete the nonesense ones too but I don't really like to because that would be like not keeping this a true record of my life, wiping out those..... I usually keep ALL comments, so they can all be read still.
Nearly 12 midnight now. Tired eyes which need sleep. I may join the last few minutes of Rob's show early in the morning, if he's still around. If I feel too tired, I won't bother.
Goodnight friends... Feel free to comment! Love reading your comments, always! Love, Sair xx
