Still awake

It has been a good day, despite the early start. The Silver Vixen went off to the hairdresser and the Gorse Fox settled down for some admin. The first thing on the agenda was to check an offer from our utility supplier. The offer would expire next week so it was time to see if we could really benefit. Though the offer was good, the Gorse Fox found a better offer still. He has now started the process of switching energy supplier again.

He settled down to catch up on some domestic chores but the phone beeped. It was a message from Lady Penelope. Old Bill's cataract operation was complete. The Gorse Fox had agreed to go and collect him, so he hopped in the car and headed across to Shoreham. The traffic was fairly benign so the trip didn't take too long. We soon got Old Bill (or is it Captain Hook, with his eyepatch) home.

While the this trip was underway the Gorse Fox had set Condor up to upgrade to "Catalina". This afternoon the Gorse Fox has been completing the upgrade. Everything seemed to go fine, with one notable exception. The backup system has lost all of its schedules... and the one thing that the backup system didn't backup was its own schedules. The Gorse Fox has spent the afternoon rebuilding all of those schedules. There's still a few to go, but they are the backups of things that rarely change so only get backed up monthly. (The Gorse Fox should clarify that it is only the schedules that have disappeared, not the backups themselves).
