My Beautiful Computer.

I'm trying to be positive about computers today. Thus the title. However, it's hard thinking of anything that is presently so obstructive, it makes the idea of cleaning the lavvy seem a more attractive alternative.
When computers first came to our workplace, I figured it was just a passing concept- as ephemeral as the word. However, computers are here to stay and at least I've learnt some things helpful about them.
Shift isn't a way to get you to move from your seat and a mouse can be friendly unless cornered.
Now- about the lavvy----

A Creative Weekend.

Badaguish Outdoor Centre is easy to find if you take the road to Glenmore from Aviemore. Whilst the self- catering, here is affordable, the views of the Cairngorms are free.There's still snow on the higher slopes,and sometimes,when the light catches on them, it makes them grin with a clear tight menace.
No such threat came from our  forWords writing group,visiting the Centre last weekend. Inspiration, helped by a visit from author Alan Bissett made for lively discussion. We're all now back on the literary road, and as fortified as the Bagaduish bottle bank was.

Treasurer's tale.

And here I was thinking that the role of treasurer would be a simple easy way to support Forres's For Words writing group. And so, for the main part, it has been. The occasional trip to the post office to bank the money, fit in a wee chat with the girls behind the counter on the important things of life (holidays, cat health, their health, life, the universe) has meant I've felt smug in an unaccustomed state of financial efficiency.
However, come the A.G.M and a  formal  report  is needed. Apparently something handwritten on a post it note is unacceptable as is something not on EXCEL.
It's not that there hasn't been plenty of  advice but when the computer expert chairman gets a far off look in his eye, you kinda get the message, there's a steep learning curve ahead.
Several days later with a certain amount of medicinal fortification, I reckon I've cracked the code. With a flourish, I press the print button and am asked if I want the 56 pages printed.
