Day Nineteen - including Cheese and GPS

The normal "run" around the lake with my wife. Unfortunately, I get a pain in my right knee after 500m or so, and have to walk the rest (with a few pathetic attempts to run a little every now and then). That the knee has been going on for some time, is only by race. My wife takes a different path to do running on her own. She is probably about 23 times better at running than me. That left me taking a minor detour past the bakers to pick up some fresh bread for breakfast.

Otherwise, I used most of the day at ... yes, you guessed right! ... twiddled with the computer. It is now as good as complete. The challenges were to put old mail accounts back, even though it is a new machine, and this is not webmail but a normal pop3 client. In addition, I want that large amounts of data (documents) is on the D drive, not C drive. Tricky for the shared documents. Last, but certainly not at least, when reusing a data disc and reinstalling with new accounts, the ownership has to be adjusted i safe mode.

The work was briefly interupted by the normal shopping, which for a change we did in our immediate neighborhood (no need to use the car) and thus included buing the cheese in the chees shop. This cheeseshop is NOT liek the (in)famous one from Monty Python - rather the shopkeeper keeps urging us to buy more :-)

We also bought a new GPS for the new car, it ended up with a Navigion 2110Max. We will see how it works tomorrow. It has worked out where I live :-)

In the evening we lit up up the fireplace - there was some sad remnants of the Christmas tree still in the livingroom, and we "de-installed" it with a garden shears and fed the fire with that. Cosy, and definitely 100% recycle and CO2 neutral.
