Since we can't drive anywhere and its a lovely sunny day (for a change) we decided to have a nice stroll through the local park and enjoy the budding rose bushes. Jen makes a false start on some pearling for Dan's cloak. A false start because these big and heavy suckers need extra spacing, to sit in a row. You can see here they're bunching too much and not a straight line. Darn it - starting again.

Steve drives the car off to the mechanics. It works OK on local roads, but within 15 minutes on a motorway - severe juddering comes on. Not good news.

Steve installs Parallels on to Jen's Mac. Then we install some PC programs - amazing! Now we have Premier Elements and Noteworthy on the Mac - yay! This also happens to be a good test-run with helping one of Steve's workplace's "Governors" issues with her Mac.
Steve celebrates three years at his current workplace, by finally having a signed work contract.
