New Toys...

Well sort of.

1) New Painting.  As mentioned previously I have just ordered a new Mark Spain artwork for the lounge.  I now have a delivery date of 21st of April, so I have two weeks to ensure that the decoration etc. is complete.

Today we went to the Halcyon gallery in Birmingham, where they were opening their "Figurative Collection" show, and we had chance to meet non other than Mark Spain himself.  A really nice guy, and the free champagne was rather nice too.

2) New HDD for the PC.  Lofty is in the process of reconfiguring his Media Centre PC, and as a result has a couple of 500 GB HDD's going spare.  I have taken one of them off his hands for the princely sum of £40.

I intend to put this new drive (well 12 month old actually) in this PC, and take the opportunity to completely reload Windows Vista.  I currently have C: on a 75 GB drive, and D:, P: and M: on a 240 GB drive.  The plan is to go to a single large C: on the 500 GB, with data, pictures and music in the My Documents, My Pictures and My Music, and use the 240 GB drive as a backup device for those three locations.
