Friday saw us journey to Caldicot Castle to see The Australian Pink Floyd.
We arrived in time to catch the support act, MAN - a great Welsh rock band. We had several shoert showers that did nothing to trouble us. It did raise titters of laughter from other memebers of the crowd though. You see an appearance was made by Binbagman and his arch nemesis Bagula. Yes, I had managed to insert myself inside a binbag, complete with eyeslit, and FW had one around her as a cloak.
As soon as MAN finished I queued for the portaloo and the skies opened. I was aboslutely drenched and so was FW. That died down and then, within a few monutes, it rained even harder. So, regretfully, we decided that enough was enough and went home.
As a result I spent Saturday in bed with a bad throat and general grottiness. I was so bad that I didn't have chance to write my sermon for Sunday morning. I decided to download an old sermon, something I'd vowed never to do, from our wonky computer.
So at 07:30 on Sunday morning I was sat in front of the computer. Thankfully it opened first time but I conuldn't find the power lead for the USB hub. By the time I sorted a replacement out the computer had shut itself down and refused to open again; b*****y useless Windows and its driver errors.
So I had to write my sermon from scartach before I left the house at 10:30. Thankfully I managed to get it done in time but not without a little stress and felling harried.
We're waiting for our "free" laptop to arrive from AOL/Carphone Warehouse as we switched broadband supplier in early June. As our main computer is now playing silly games we really need the new laptop - especially as we're unable to access the internet at home without it. Tonight I will be hurling abuse at AOL trying to get it delivered.
