Yeah, always sad to see an Epson with a clogged nozzle.  Poor thing.

That was my first thought but it's hard in SE London to find a dry cleaner that uses organic thread to do repairs

My Drobo is down to it's last half-a-terabyte on one of it's partitions.

Worse than that, though is the fact that the SKY+HD box is down to 30% of it's capacity.  What if I need to record a whole series of Strictly, or the like?

My 60 Gb iPod Classic has under 3 Gb space left ::-) and at the rate I am plundering the CD collections/iTunes libraries of Miss von Brandenburg and Mr Sunshine it won't take long to fill that up.
Fortunately I have a refurbished 160 Gb one upstairs :thumbsup:

I don't have a peppercorn funnel so I scattered my rainbow peppercorns across the worktop as I filled the grinder.

I misjudged how long it would take to get to the top of the waiting list for a reserved book and now I have three library books to be read and I'm not sure I'll get them all finished before they're due back.

I have, but there's a long waiting list for one of the books so I feel an obligation to read and return.
