Successes

This week I installed ABBYY FineReader pro 5 and it works a treat. Now all I've to do is teach it I want my documents in OpenOffice or at least rich text format rather than Word.

After a lot of research I chose To-do List to instal which shoved itself onto all users without a by your leave. Then I found Calendar the plug-in tool for Mozilla Firefox. It does what I want, it does it for free and it doesn't get in the way, hurrah!

First thing on the to do list is delete the To-do List.

The figs continue to ripen; I've eaten one most days this week. Hardly self sufficiency yet but another step.
The apple tree (intended to be pot grown but transplanted three years ago to the bottom of the garden) appears to have thrown off the setbacks of the last two years. It is now over a metre high and has produced new shoots this year which should fruit next. No signs of the infestation it suffered last year.

New washing machine due soon. New spectacles to be collected today.

New job or at least new work.

My struggle to remain healthy is gradually killing me.
