Nina's Blog - Thursday 25th July 2024

Quieter in the house now, just me and the dog. My sister and my nephew have gone out to a dog training session with the healthy dog.

So I'm enjoying watching The Repair Shop. Quiet, happy television.

And yesterday we did go Currys and my sister did splash out 1 999 GBP on the Lenovo Yoga 9.

My sister seems to think that just because the money came out of a different account that it is somehow different in kind so she can spend two thousand pounds from her savings on a laptop but is making the vet wait for an overdue 600 GBP bill to be paid until next pay day despite the risk that this will quite likely result in the vet charging interest or some kind of penalty.

It's a very nice laptop but cost twenty times what I paid last year for the one I am typing this on. Mine is a second hand Thinkpad T460s that is eight years old and works perfectly. Mine also has twice as much storage as the Yoga 9 because I swapped in the SSD from my previous laptop.

I lost my temper this evening and shouted at my sister. I feel I was justified. But I should still have made a greater effort to find a better way of expressing myself. The household does enough shouting of its own without me adding to it.

Also, the longer I stay here the coarser my language becomes. I have to fight against pointless profanity.

@ninalanyon I am sure you were justified in your response to your sister. How much longer are you going to stay with this family?

@turbineman40 Another week or two. Justified or not I should have found a better way to express myself.

Saw these plants in the parking lot of "the Forge,". The place where I meet Peter and who is helping me make the wagon wheels.

Sorry, I don't have a name for this flower

@ninalanyon This is the wagon


gon

I am building


The Wagon are a project all to themselves. Ten spokes on the front wheels and twelve spokes on the rear larger diameter wheels

@turbineman40 Wow! You should take lots of pictures. I'm sure a series of posts documenting the process would be very popular and not just on SW.

@ninalanyon The plants are very large and are leaning over into the parking area.

Show us the dog if you want

@being I don't show anything that would identify family on here.

@ninalanyon okay understandable

@ToddpicogramakaSatan But why did you think that my blog was a sensible place to post it?

@ToddpicogramakaSatan That's enough. If you don't want to engage with the content I'll have to block you.
