Finished mine last week, every year I tell myself to deal with receipts monthly rather than shoving them in a box.
Would also help if i printed receipts out at the time of purchase rather than doing email searches!

I’m not googling it as it may spoil the best sentance I’ve read all day

Installing and restoring a backup onto a replacement NAS.
I’ve got Mr Stabby the screwdriver.
What could possibly go wrong?
Just avoid a hand/screwdriver interface and all will be well.
Still recovering from stabbing myself in the hand with an ice pick a couple of weeks ago 
You’d be surprised at the number of people who hold a tool in one hand and then end up directing it at their other hand😁

Disc assembled with only light casualties.
Restore running now after a bit of faffing. All the accounts and passwords had to change because they failed more modern complexity requirements.
Personally I can’t see what’s wrong with admin/tits123

Unless one hand has a boxing glove on and the other is holding a box of Kleenex.

I went for a stroll down memory lane in @htm_1968 ‘s neck of the woods to have a look at the John Lennon sculpture, which is better than the one at the airport imo
I still have the copies of Starman, Children of the revolution, All the young dudes that I bought at this branch of W.H. Smith

You were literally 150 meters from my house. You should have got in touch.

Jeez this is painful.
It took ~7 hours to restore a Windows backup directory that I’d forgotten even existed.
Now finally onto music.
The music is actually going a lot faster than the PC backup. I’m guessing that would be because it’s smaller numbers of larger files - everything is > 20MB, not a few hundred kB or less. So more spiral write of data, less directory operations and seeking. Should have bought an SSD, no rotational latency there.
Yes, since I took the screenshot above it’s already up to 216GB. Previously it was advancing 0.01 of a GB at a time.

It was wet, windy and muddy. It was also fun. Only 15 minutes from my front door too. Have signed up to their email list so I can use up some of my flexi-time by helping out more regularly.

In the chestnut coppice. A lovely day to be out, unlike yesterday afternoon.
As someone said, we could have done with a horse
