Here comes the Highland mannie…

I can explain my title.

I can has broadband!  I can has a working laptop!  Well, mostly anyway.  I can has beer!  I can has Scotland on the telly!

Shit, never explained about the laptop.  Was going to before Yaffa died and I need to write about her.

So, not Sunday but the Sunday before, my laptop died.  It just died.  OK, I spilt Dr Pepper on it.  I was shitting myself, because there was no way I could afford to either repair or replace.  Then, about Wednesday last week, the screen started flashing on and off.  Then on Saturday afternoon, it took me to a screen to set the date and time and kept cycling through to that.  Then, very early Sunday morning, it kicked into life!  One of the USB ports doesn’t work anymore, but I can live with that.

Can’t wait until I can afford a subscription again.  Still waiting on a refund on cancelling my last one, kinda feels like I’ve paid for something I’m not getting.

I decided on Netflix over the WWE Network.  The only thing I’d really watch on the latter are PPVs and NXT and both of them I can get by, how can I put this, less than legal methods.  There’s a lot of things I need to catch up on (3%, iZombie), so, naturally, I went with the first episode of Discovery to check if the Klingon subtitles (it is) and rewatch Mad Men.  Though I did watch The Toys That Made Us.

Saturday night, i went out for a drink or ten with my best friend and watch the football.  I hadn’t seen her since January so it was a much needed catch up.  Her fiancee met up with us for the Champions League final.  I ended the night with a new pint glass.  (Seriously, the majority of glasses I own are “liberated” from pubs).

Oh, i actually have an album on CD.  The new Frank Turner album came out a couple of weeks ago (highly recommended) and, as it’s called Be More Kind, someone on the Frank Turner Army FB page decided to buy a copy for someone.  I messaged them and he decided I would be the lucky recipient.

So, there’s that.
