Windows 7: Today [10]

Sounds good Angie, what make is the mixer ?

I've got an Asus Laptop with Windows 8, that's why I've not been around much today, apart from it being Friday and always a busy day for me I've been busy sorting it out and setting it up.

I'm having fun so far trying to find my way around, I thought I'd give it a fair trial with the Metro look before deciding if I want to switch to a more familiar Windows 7 look.

Haven't sorted out the forums yet so had to come back to my desktop to post, done my email accounts.

I'm now going to shut this one down for the night and go and play a bit more with the lappy.

I got a cooks professional stand mixer, I've been umming and ahhhing about get one for a while because they're expensive. However, got this on a deal as it should have been £300 got it for £90 so am thrilled. I generally make my cakes with a hand whisk but this is for more heavy duty stuff like the Christmas cakes.

Once I'm feeling better will get it fired up.

Ooh sounds like you're having fun, is it an early Christmas present?

Getting your voice back Angie? Got to be able to keep John in line

Yeah Bill Im getting there don't think the singing helped much though last night. Well I say sing, more a few words then copious amounts of spluttering. Lol.

You have a new career?

That is definitely a good deal, I have a Kenwood Chef. When I think what I paid for that in the 60's and what they cost now, wow ridiculous, think I paid between £30 to £40 for it and it's still going strong. It came with the K beater, balloon whisk and dough hook, I also got the liquidiser with it.
Hope you have many years of mixing with yours.

You could call the lappy either a late birthday/early Christmas or just a present to myself, which it is I suppose.

I have been walking Gracie as usual to-day.

My Dad is going to Brighton Hospital tomorrow afternoon to have an operation to do with his kidneys. Mum is going with him and staying in Brighton. All being well he should be out and back home sometime on Tuesday. I have to stay here and look after Gracie whilst this is happening. I will keep you updated. Also once he has this operation he should feel better than he does now.

Today I installed Windows 8 Pro.

Have fun playing around with your new installation!

You have installed it earlier in the new laptop, Dinesh?
