Last week Mrs JC was doing her dmoz editing and all of a sudden her tablet switched off. The battery logo was blinking, as was the whole screen. I tried to explain that it could be fixable for a reasonable sum but she sort of panicked and bought an Ipad Air 2? is it? dunno. She's had the Galaxy 4 10" for about two and a half years and wanted something newer.

So she gave me the Galaxy. Quick look around and I found out how to get it apart and managed to buy a genuine Samsung battery and charging port (I wasn't sure which it was) both for £9. Ten minutes of reassembly today and we have one pristine Tab 4. I absolutely love fixing things :)
We decided to give it to my mum, who has a very small Amazon thing.

We're also going to Dorset at the weekend to see my step daughter and her fiancee (love them to bits) so that will be nice, and even though it's raining today it's still lovely and warm. I've bought a Titan X and a Titan X hybrid cooler too, so absolutely loads and loads to yay about :)

Post subject:  Re: The 'Yay!' thread

Didn't get to go to Dorset. My anxiety is awful and my IBS has flared up due to withdrawal from the meds I've just stopped. Mrs JC went on without me though. Any way that kinda sucks, but I got a really nice surprise. It's no secret that I love my step kids to bits. My eldest daughter is engaged to the most wonderful bloke ever. He's kind, he's gentle and he adores her. They both adore each other actually and they're wonderful people to boot. Any way, they do a VLOG every day which Mrs JC and I always watch of a night. A couple of months back my soon to be son in law started on a painting. Now I knew he was good with books (he's been to uni and passed with honors) and hopes to pen children's books someday (Harry Potter and the likes). Any way yeah, he did this painting of Amy Winehouse using only dots. It's absolutely incredible. Imagine my surprise when Mrs JC arrived home last night and he'd only framed it and given it to us.

So yay, my first ever piece of real art. And I will cherish it. I mean, I never had my own kids so never did get to stick silly pictures on my fridge and grin like an idiot every time I passed them but this is, I would imagine, giving me the same feelings of yay. Just what I needed when I'm feeling so shitty (shakes, cold sweats upset tummy etc).

I will try to get a pic later. :)

Me too, JC :luv:

They add a lot of perspective to a world a lot of us take for granted; it's nice to take a step back and appreciate all the good bits in life.

We just got back from a week in Center Parcs! Without the kids! It was actually really, really great. Especially the 5 hours we spent in the spa on Thursday afternoon, such a welcome chance to totally unwind after paint-balling! I've come back all refreshed :) Which is unusual, as I often come back needing another week to get over a holiday!!

Here is the pic. I watched this being painted over weeks and weeks. It started out as a very shiny sheet of aluminium and he started painting on black dots. Then all of a sudden one day he zooms out the camera and bam ! there she was.

His hair is a law unto itself. It lays flat to one side st the front, parts down the centre back into white curls, and sticks up at the crown and sides...

It's like genetics couldn't decide which of four hair types to give him so blessed him with them all.

And thank you! x

Nice to see him crawl! My son first did this on a sticky bar carpet on the ferry to Dublin, looks like you had a nicer venue :DD

Had tests and a procedure or 2 today that I've been putting off for ages

They have given me all clear on a number of cancers of things and there is nothing wrong, so big Yay

However the procedure involved putting a fiber optic camera somewhere that you should not poke things into, so a day off tomorrow to recover :)

Very pleased over all as I really expected my kidneys to be be a bit fucked given the drinking I did in my 20's and 30's

Tinky Winky would be the obvious choice. He can hold any walker/keys in his handbag that way and stop the line of his tux being ruined.
