Just an itsy bitsy mist but no clouds and it turns into a really nice spring day with the temperature rising to 28°C. By evening clouds crop up and while we don't get rain some other parts of the country are inundated.

Shopping. First time I get to the new Masset shop. The same old stuff with the same old person, jus another (bigger) location. As is typical in a city center that is almost entirely made up of shops the concentration of shoppers periodically shifts from one are to another. Such a shift just happened so he had almost no visitors anymore and although his regular clients kept coming he did loose out on occasional visitors.

I ordered a new printer to replace my terminally ill Deskjet 500. The Deskjet 840C I'll get next week, may be a razor blade handle but it is relatively cheap and capable of printing colour. If I didn't want colour I would have gone for a laser but I intend to print photos with it. Not often but often enough.
The colour printing I did, up to now, was on a Canon BJC70. In its favour this is a portable printer. Less favourable are its speed and its quality. And the ink consumption. Being portable means only very small ink tanks can be installed, there is just enough colour ink to print one A4 sized photo, on a second page you are almost guaranteed to run out on one or more colours.

As the weather is rather enjoyable I remain outside, lazily gardening the whole afternoon.

Oeps, did anyone miss my Thursday and Friday notes?
I did post them but to the wrong directory. And I was too busy to check them out after posting.
