Day 948

Quite a good day for a Sunday. Mixed the Christmas cake in the afternoon - unfortunately the oven malfunctioned and reduced it practically to ashes. Never mind. I'll make another one next week when the oven's repaired. I can exclude animal fat next time too.

Rang the operator and found there's a fault (a 'ring-trip') on T's line, which explains why I haven't been able to contact her. It won't be repaired till Friday. It doesn't explain why she hasn't refunded the postage for her book. I get £1770 a year, she gets £15,000, so 88p to me is £7 to her. Neither a lender or a borrower be.

Watched the usual telly; sorted out the problem on the 486 where Windows reports all numbers bigger than 1,000 as a thousandth of the value. I'd deleted the thousands separator in Control Panel because I don't like computers to give me numbers with commas in - bit of a bug for it to cause this behaviour. Remedied it.
