Computer mended
The young man reappeared in the evening with Ed’s computer all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (the computer, that is) and raring to go.
“Wow!” I said, impressed. “How did you do it?”
He smiled, modestly. “I just restored it to a previous time.”
Well that’s easy enough. I’ve done it tons of times myself. But how did he get past the black screen to be able to reach a restore button?
“You keep tapping on F8 as you boot up,” he explained. “That brings up a menu where ‘restore’ is one of the options.”
So now you know, boys and girls. When your computer dies and you’re completely stuffed, keep pressing F8. Anyway, we were well pleased and considered it £19 well spent.
Today Ed and I had a really special treat. We went into Norwich for lunch, then went on to the Theatre Royal to see “Les Miserables”. It was absolutely brilliant, from beginning to end. The music, the acting, the scenes – all fabulous. Today is the last day in Norwich, it tours elsewhere in the country now.
I’m so glad we saw it, for the memories will remain with us for a very long time. Aren’t shows like that great?
