Today I have had both trial and blessing. The trial has been my desktop pc which I fear has died, instead of having icons on my screen I had blank pages, so I took it yesterday to Staples, went back for it today and the bottom line is that they couldn't fix it.
They first of all wanted $159 to fix it, which I gave them yesterday (because I have a lot of photos and data I wouldn't like to lose) then today they wanted more money to fix it....and I balked at the more money, so requested a refund of the $159, and left the store with the defunct pc. The manageress was not happy and flounced off scowling, the young man attending to me did his best and I thanked him.
There is a computer place downtown, I might just ask them to look at it tomorrow - see how they handle it.
That was the trial - the blessing was my friend Phyllis, who came round, rolled her sleeves up and set to work helping with the turning out and sorting. There are still things to go through and she said she'd be back on Monday.
So that has been my day. Going back to my book which is a biography of Queen Mary (the mother of George V) it is fascinating.
