Happy New Year to you all
One of the problems with having your adult children to stay over the Christmas period, is that they drag you to the sales immediately after Christmas. Well, drag isn’t entirely accurate, since I went very willingly.
There I spent money I didn’t have, having used up any spare cash and more on the run up to Christmas. I’m delighted with my new BlackBerry playbook, and with the Dragon software I bought which I’m using now to dictate this blog. I used Dragon software some years ago, but this version is infinitely better with fewer mistakes so far.
My only other purchase in Norwich was a couple of baking tins for 99 p each. At that price it doesn’t matter if you only use them a couple of times and then have to throw them out.
However, the spending spree didn’t end there. I also bought two pairs of shoes online in the online sales, and am delighted with them too, since for almost the first time in my life I’ve found shoes which actually fit me. There are problems with having a broad foot. It’s extremely difficult to buy shoes off-the-shelf, hence I almost never buy shoes. I’m so pleased to have discovered a website which offers shoes in my fitting.
The best New Year present is Ian’s continuing improving health. Yesterday we went to church to greet the New Year, and that was a first since his illness in November. May this year bring much health for him and for all of us.
On a sadder note, I learned that a friend of mine had the difficult task of switching off her father’s life support on January 1. His health had been failing for years, and he was rushed into hospital again just after Christmas, in a coma. What a terrible decision to have to make and my heart goes out to them all. This is the sort of time when prayer from family and friends is so important, for it lifts you and holds you and supports you when nothing else can.
For 2012, I wish you all that you wish yourself, which is probably health, happiness, and with luck, a bit of wealth thrown in as well. May you have a wonderful 2012, and may God be with you in all that you do.

Can’t wait to find out what your new software/hardware does. See you in a week for the famous five fellowship meeting.

A few things i have seen in terms of personal computer memory is that there are technical specs such as SDRAM, DDR and so on, that must fit in with the specs of the mother board. If the personal computer’s motherboard is pretty current and there are no os issues, updating the memory space literally will take under 1 hour. It’s one of several easiest computer system upgrade processes one can picture. Thanks for expressing your ideas.
