I will shortly be getting a new computer! ... please count yourselves all lucky that you will not have to put up with me shouting and cursing as I try to make it do what I want for hours and hours and hours, and complaining about how terrible change is. /o\

I managed to keep going for long enough to change money and get dinner and walking around a bit enjoying the Christmas lights and market (I think at least some of the lights are new? They are SUPER PRETTY, anyway), but now I am holy fuck levels of tired. It is - too early to go to bed now though - but by ( Read more... )
