An Age of Magic

How many computers does your house have…?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

It is pretty safe to assume that just about every house these days has at least one computer resident. And when you count into the fact that many people work from home today the number could run into multiples. In our establishment we have four PC’s.

Two for business use and two for private use. Well, I use mine for both business and private use…

That takes the amount of technology making up the average family home into an interesting area. And then there’s the furnishings required to accommodate all these gadgets; i.e computer desks, TV stands, home cinema accessories and mounts.

It is interesting for sure; I had to visit the home of an elderly relative a few months back and noticed the lack of all the modern day stuff. No PC in that home - normal floor-standing TV, small radio on the kitchen table…

Like a trip back through time!

Replacing bits and pieces

Just before we go away on our own little well-earned break we have been doing a quick inventory of what needs fixin and replacing around the place. Winter is always the best time for us to do any important maintenance work on the place - summer is way too busy and you cannot bring the workmen in when you have guests staying.

What we have noticed is that the bathroom fittings more than anything else have seen some wear and tear over the past couple of years so this time round we are looking to purchase industrial knobs for the taps and basins rather than oin for the nicer looking accessory-type fittings.

They might not be as attractive but we see the need for longer lasting and more economical parts these days.
