Good thoughts

As I was leaving the house this morning I contrived to drop my cellphone about 10 feet onto concrete and it went flying in pieces. To my relief those pieces fitted together and despite a couple of dings it still appears to work. So I headed round to
lobelet's place to pick him up for a trip over the hill to Martinborough. I was looking for an excuse for a drive to get back in the habit - too many days in the garden and driving become just that bit harder and I have a long drive in a couple of weeks.
lobelet has never been to the Wairarapa, so a plan was formed. The plan came together pretty well. It involved a visit to Martinborough Vineyard where I topped up my dessert wine stocks and a meal at the Martinborough wine centre where we could sample beer from the local brewery and have a nice meal with which
lobelet could have extra caterpillar with his salad.
Back home I finished watching the DVDs of Blakes 7 season 4. I have not watched this season for many years and I have it in my mind that this season isn't as well regarded as the others. But I really enjoyed it. It does have a different energy than the other seasons - more relaxed and prepared to have more fun with the show. These DVDs have a much better set of extras that previous seasons. The beeb are not exactly good at extras, so it was a welcome surprise.
Good day.

Oh and later today I might get to do this:
cd /
rm -rf *
But I better make damned sure I'm on the right box.

Guess what? I didn't get home for tea. It was a hell of a good test of my client's backup procedures (fortunately they had good backups).

A wonderful day, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
