A busy weekend

On Saturday I delivered John and Amanda’s wedding album to them, they’re delighted with it and love the contemporary style of the album.

Saturday evening I went to a TSB reunion at Tiger Tiger in Cardiff, it was really great to see so many former colleagues that I haven’t seen for a number of years. It was twenty years ago that what was then TSB General Insurance relocated from Andover to Newport. Quite a number of us worked in Andover prior to the move to Newport although very few from that time are still working at what is now Lloyds TSB. It was a very enjoyable evening.

A dry Friday

The insurance documents arrived for the Nissan Patrol, the local Post Office has run out of tax discs, so a drive to the Treforest Estate Post Office to tax it. An appointment with the doctor and a prescription for antibiotics but I may need an immediate referral to the local hospital if there isn’t a rapid improvement. Collected the Nissan Patrol and drove it home, I’ve previously owned a number of high spec Range Rovers and Discoveries and I wasn’t expecting the Patrol to be as good on road but I’ve been pleasantly surprised, it’s well behaved in traffic and cruises comfortably at 70 mph and is quite capable of going faster.

A quiet Thursday

I’m still waiting for the insurance documents for the Nissan Patrol to arrive in the post so I can tax it and collect it. I’m having a very annoying problem with the main pc, the latest updates from Symantec live update are causing severe problems with the status application continuously accessing the hard disk. It’s also then impossible to access any of the Norton applications. Booting from the Ghost 10 CD and restoring the C drive from the latest back up is the only solution. A selective update from Symantec live update, without selecting the program updates is working as an interim measure.
