Home alone + more computer woes
Well, my parents have left on their annual pilgrimage to see all their grandchildren in Colorado, so I'll have the house to myself for the next 6 weeks. Well, except for weekends in February when my brother will be in and out (and hopefully feed me real food!).
But first thing this morning my laptop crashed again...grrr!!! I'm pretty sure it is the hard drive again. I suppose I should just get a new one, but I don't even know where to look...sigh...Dell won't help anymore because I'm no longer under guarantee. Though they sent me a new hard drive just under a year ago...shouldn't it still have its own warranty? Hmmm
All the snow has been gone since yesterday. It stuck around for nearly 2 weeks, which is pretty impressive for this part of France, we are only a stone's throw from the Riviera after all. But as my brother keeps reminding me, we live in the Yukon of Provence. I think the only reason that people think we have nice weather here all the time is because all those English people would (and still do) come here to spend the winter because it is nicer than in Britain (which is sooooo true). False advertising I say. I grew up in Colorado which really IS sunny. Much more so than here. Colder though...and snowier...but sunnier!
