We didn't go out on New Years Eve - Basil is scared of fireworks and 11 stone of quaking Pyranean Mountain dog is not a pretty site. For Ian and Basil think Scooby Doo and Shaggy.
Ian has been like a bear on a hot tin roof this last week (and I have mixed my metaphors wisely). He has bought a new mac -computer not raincoat, and it was due for delivery some time after the 28th. This means that everytime someone walked past the door both Ian and Basil raced to throw themselves at the gate. Unfortunately this spectacle also added extra spice to knockout ginger, the popular village game of ringing our doorbell and running away, and meant that the bell rung more than usual. One time our young knock-out ginger friends did not run away and wanted to see Basil - they also offered us 50 euros to have a party in our back yard, an offer which we declined. I am glad that the mac has arrived, the old pc takes quite a long time to start up which meant that, in the same manner as Reggie Perrin's daily reporting of his trains 11 minute delay, I have enjoyed Ian sharing with me the daily start up times of the pc, which is tedious for both of us - but for different reasons.
Anyway new mac has now arrived and disappointingly it looks like the old one. No flashing lights or anything, but it has a super-dooper spec and will be beneficial for Ians design work. I have his old one so we are a mac household. Unfortunately the keyboard didn't arrive with it - so a quick trip to Carrefour was required before the new mean machine became usable.
