COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

good morning mum! how was your weekend?

Not too bad. Got son home from uni at the end of his second year. He moves to Hertfordshire next week to start his placement year.

Busy couple of weeks coming up getting him organised while finalising arrangements for a conference that's happening Thursday week in Leicester (I'm one of the organisers :/ ) I must be insane

Dinner went down very well. At his request roast beef and ALL the trimmings and then I found a Delia recipe for summer fruit brulee for dessert

It's a conference for IT Technicians working in education. Interesting stuff like cloud services and ransomware to be discussed (Well it's interesting to me anyway!)

I did my degree in computing - not that that qualification is worth the paper it's printed on.

I used punch cards for the first year and we got the first PCs in uni for my final year - they only had DOS, no windows in those days.

Things have changed rather a lot through my career!

Good morning.

My mum likes total darkness, but she does have digital clocks. I like light, luckily I have the toilet across from me so we keep the light on and my door is open. I also don't like silence. I'm so used to having animals in my room that when it's silent, I just don't like it. I like the sound of the gerbils digging.

I love silence, and that's most probably why I picked a tort when I decided to go for a pet: I don't want to hear any sound/noise.

Good morning.

Good morning Ed. Nice to "see" you around and hope you are better.

 

[Gillian M]

Hello friends! I've been out of town with barely any service lately so I wanted to say hello and that I hope everyone is doing well!

Glad you're feeling better Ed!

Hi Michelle ! Long time no hear. Glad to see you around.
