Oh Computer fail/Beach adventures

We went to the beach yesterday, summer has really started to kick in, it was 31 degrees and sunny. The beach was semi full of people just chillin enjoying their Sunday!


I almost feel guilty for not going out every time the sun shines(as living in Norway/UK means you gotta enjoy the sunshine while you can)but I have realised the sun ain't going nowhere any time soon...it is only going to get hotter!




The computer suffered a major breakdown over the past weeks and we finally had to bite the bullet and just format it...oh by the way it's a Dell. Don't format a Dell without backing up every piece of driver for it! As we learnt the incredibly hard way. I was able to rescue our pictures and my huge library of musical heaven thankfully. The end result was to go to the local nerdshop/internetcafe where all the computer geeks congregate to play World of Warcraft or Warhammer or some other sort of war games. It is almost an experience in itself.
Teenage boys screaming "hold your fire" at eachother in a room that is almost completely void of sunlight(my theory is that they might turn into dust/stone if sunlight should hit them).
We managed, after alot of swearing to get all the drivers we needed and get the hell out of this nerd paradise. Thankfully a pub called The Wicko is just around the corner and cold beverages were in order- there is only so much geekdom one can handle in one afternoon.
The Wicko is the most interesting pub I've seen so far and it has a incredible beergarden and lots of live music(one of the chicks working there also has the biggest beehive made of dreadlocks I have ever seen and I am slightly jealous cos it looks wicked)
Since we are old and boring we only stayed for one drink, and decided to go home and try and fix this crash of a computer that wouldn't connect to the interweb, and after being on hold with Telstra for what seemed an eternity someone with more than 3 braincells actually helped us and here we are.
The neighbour is still a giant douche toting his bloody chainsaw around at 8.20 every morning,(including a SUNDAY) hammering and sawing building his shed and just being a fuckwit. We made secret wishes about how we want to poison all his trees but it seems like hard work.
House kind of looks like something has exploded and I think it is time to maybe do something about it(it isn't sunny I am not missing out on anything!!)
