Much needed coffee!

The new computer arrives.

It's so small...

Not at all like my old one.

My old tower was the Full Tower.

The new one is the Mini-Tower.

I had bought a new keyboard separately as my old one the space button gave up on me.

Opened the box and a free mouse and keyboard came with it!

(Always needs a spare!)

I get all the old computer towers out from under my computer desk.

Time for a big tidy up under there.

Henry comes to the rescue!

Plugs all the wires into the new computer.

However having trouble with the speakers 🤪

Finally get the computer up and running....

Lunchtime!

Then I sorted out all my magazines that was in my Lloyd Loom  under my computer desk.

I like to keep my items.

There were all food magazines from 2009, I got from my late dad's house.

(He wanted to throw them away!)

They might be going for free on Facebook tomorrow.

I ran out of time for Tea at 3.

By the time I finished sorting out the magazines it was Tea time.

Hubby was visiting his dad after work.

I enjoyed a tin of Macaroni Cheese.

Yum Yum!

I tried to go back on my new computer.

Now the monitor isn't working!

I get my younger son to help!

The lead that leads to the plug had come out from behind the monitor!

Plugs it back in and it works! 

Hubby comes back,

I give him a sloppy wet 💋

He gives me the newspaper in return.

Chris Rea  is an English rock and blues singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born and raised in Middlesbrough, he is of Italian and Irish descent. He is known for his distinctive, husky singing and slide guitar playing, with the Guinness Rockopedia describing him as a "gravel-voiced guitar stalwart". After learning to play the guitar relatively late, a short burst of local band activity led to his launching a solo career in 1978. 

He is 70 years old 🎈 

Johnny Preston  was an American pop singer, best known for his international number one hit in 1960, "Running Bear" He died aged 71 in 2011.
