Right … about the laptop I’ve borrowed from my landlords … ?
I’ve still got it … obviously!
But I’ve had a representative from them phone, yesterday afternoon: and hopefully phone back, on Monday afternoon.
To try and help: by taking remote control of the machine, and seeing what he could do.
Not a lot, actually.
It still needs the user password to install the needed software.
Something he couldn’t enter remotely: in part, because he couldn’t see the password window, remotely.
Nor could he just give me the password: understandable, given the security issues.
He’s going to be phoning back on Monday … once he’s got permission to give it to me.
We’ll have to see what happens.

Did I mention I like a good read, occasionally?
I like a good read, occasionally.
Right now? My book at bedtime is a collection of Arthur Machen short stories called The White People and other Weird Stories.
It’s interesting stuff: and you can see how it inspired H. P. Lovecraft.
What is grabbing me … ?
Is simply the cover.
This particular edition is a Penguin Classics one.
With a beautifully textured cover that makes reading it a pleasure.
And the book, itself, a beautiful thing to hold.
