Beating The Gremlins At Their Own Game

Today all usb connections but my mouse stopped working on my computer. What the? Even my printer and camera. I had no idea what to do as without my printer and external hard drive my computer is pretty useless for about half of my uni work. So I did a bit of detective work on the net, opening and closing my Device Manager more times than I can remember trying out ideas and suddenly there was a super simple idea.

Here’s what it was, turn your computer off and then turn the power off at the socket for a few seconds to drive the power gremlins out…then turn it all back on. And hey, what do you know, it worked. I have everything back on again. How weird is that! I really thought for a second I’d need a new computer. Thank goodness I don’t.

Now onto the photos what show a lovely mother/daughter day had by all. The first is the picnic just started and the second shows us stuffed with corn cakes, jelly and chocolate cake.

And here’s Jordan at the Bell Tower standing on the swans. We went for lunch at the Indian place where you pay what you feel (I felt $10). You can see it in the background on the first floor.
