Lazy & Restful -- sort of

Got a supply of anti-inflammatory tablets from the local chemist first thing.

Rested a lot apart from that.

A day of sunshine and showers, with the showers each time stubbornly deciding to do their thing just as I'd got my act together to go in to town to do some shopping and hopefully get a blip done.

Gave up on the possibility of an outdoor blip at 5.15, spotted nice rays of sunshine spilling through the fluted glass panels on the hall door and set up what began as a fallback and ended up as my actual blip for the day.

Got a call from my friend Derek nine-ish (pm) to see how I was and to see what I thought of the iMac/iLife/iWork announcements from Cupertino.

Had a quick look at the Apple site and gave a thumbs-up to Derek. He wasted no time and ordered a new 20" iMac which is due for delivery in five days.

Spent hours at the Apple site checking out iLife '08 and iWork '08, including watching all the feature-set and tutorial videos (will order both by the end of the week).

Fell into bed at a ridiculous hour, after undoing any good the earlier rest might have done, still without having uploaded to Blipland (only doing it now, which is tomorrow, the 8th, at 12.15 pm). Appointment for wrist checkup at 1.30 on the 8th.
