Oh House Keepers I am in mourning. Disaster in the shape of a pint sized foot has struck and this time there is no going back. Finley has (accidentally) kicked my laptop into PC heaven and with internal bleeding, broken bones, split veins and all manner of other computer related injuries to contend with, the PC doctor has told me that my darling, darling friend has got to be put down.
Where will I be without him? Up the creek without a paddle methinks.
There is no answer to it this time. One mustn’t waste miracles on wishing the sky will start raining laptops or that I will find gold coins buried in a jeweled box at the bottom of my non-existent garden…
And so I will be gone for a while. I will be playing in the sun with my babba. Digging up the disaster that is my tiny yard after a Summer of rain. Re-inventing my comfort basket. Creating a naughty knicker drawer. Stripping away the clutter. Painting the bathroom a startling shade of white. Reading. Remembering. Dreaming up a fabulous fourth birthday party for Finn. Spending hours in the
T’will be fun and t’will be sad.
See you soon.x

Oh dear, poor ol' laptop. This might be a small blessing for you and Finley in that you'll have a bit more time to just enjoy the season. I'll keep an eye out for your return.
It's nice to get a break, and just enjoy life, but don't be gone for too long please! Have fun!

Poor Girl, I know there will be a mourning period, but maybe it is the Universe whispering to you to take a break and enjoy a little down time. Does this portend a career as a footballer for Dear Finley? Take care, Mary Ellen

While I've not yet had a computer die on me, I do myself somewhat relieved at the little things that make them quirky and act all funny.
It gives me an excuse to put it aside for a while until I feel like Fixing It.
Enjoy your Summer!
I'll miss you – but I know you and Fin will treasure this time together.
Have a wonderful time off with your little darling. Will miss you and hope you come back when you can.
