It's really really boring... most of the time... honest!

Continued slow progress

Another week passes, and I suppose I'd better write something, because while progress has been slow, there has been progress.

I managed to get Matt into the studio last Thursday to start training. Some catching up work to be done, but I think it'll sort itself out gradually.

During Friday, I received a message informing me that the extra memory and new disc for the server had arrived, so after choir practise, I picked them up from Andy's, and proceeded to try to install them. Not a very good start - the memory was of the wrong sort, and the disc refused to format...

Saturday was designated "drive day", and I spent a couple of hours relaying some of the loose flag stones on the end of my drive, so I can start using the drive again. I hope the neighbours will stop parking infront of it now. Later, with Duncan's help, I removed the dead disc. I then spent a couple of hours showing Duncan everything that horde could do, and how to really use it.

Sunday was mostly taken up with a mass of organ playing and shopping as usual. Then a late session in the studio trying to build the new editing computer, taking the network card out of the old studio computer... with no success.

Monday was faily non-descript, work by day, radio training in the evening. It seems some cat has dumped what I can only descibe as "a huge one" on my freshly mown back lawn. I'm not impressed.

Tuesday's training session was cancelled, but I ended up treking to Grantham with Andy and Michele to go hunting for polo-shirts... and not managing to find anything suitable, so went for dinner in a local pub, and ending the evening giving Michele some advanced tip on using horde. Do'nt know why, but went through the entire day feeling very tired and exhausted.

Things didn't improve on Wednesday. Trying to keep track of what's coming up this weekend is turning into a problem. Spent most of the day juggling with my appointments to try not to make them clash. Managed to book a haircut too - really need my hair sorting out - I could probably tie it in a small pony tail at the moment. A quick ringing session in Barrowby, followed by a fairly standard session at Radio Witham closed the day out.

Thursday was a bit better. An early start to swim 28 lengths, then a busy day at work. Learned that the gyus at TWC down in Melton have been awarded a community license, and 3 stations have been awarded in Nottingham. That's going to make the band very congested I think. Also heard news that the CD and MD players that boundary sound were having serviced are ready for return. It appears that a long blonde hair was preventing the MD player from working! Spent the evening training, and not having time to do anything with the computers that are not currently working... I'll look into getting them sorted out this weekend.
