Electronic things

A couple of days ago someone peeled a sticker off an ex-rental dvd, and put the disk in the machine. It stuck to the inside of the machine... so I took it to the shop and they got it out for me. No charge, so no worries. But now disks are starting to get stuck in the machine, so I think some of the stickiness has come off inside, and we need to clean it. Today I removed the cover and got a disk out, but the next one I have put in has got stuck again. And I have three or four boys to look after tomorrow, and I wanted it going. Bother.

I bought a hand held chess game, but couldn't see the pieces very well. Better batteries fixed that.

I am getting good with a philips screwdriver, and feeling competent, but I wish I didn't need to be good.

A friend tried to put extra memory into my desk computer, but that didn't work. I still have some way before I would feel confident taking the cover off the computer!
