Not its official name, but Nog always thinks of his laptop as “the brick” because it’s so heavy and solid. Anyhoo … the other day I went to Fnac to see about getting an invoice for the iPhone so I could get a VAT refund – unfortunately I was too late and they wouldn’t give one to me. But then I noticed a sign behind the counter that said “Micro Clinica” and had a list of prices for basic computer repairs …

Yeah I know, but . . .
This really isn’t as reckless and frivolous as it may first appear. At least let me explain before you decide. Yesterday I had to take my Sexy Beast to computer hospital because of the fracture problem I told you about earlier. At the time I wondered how the hell I would manage without a computer at home for the month or so that SB would be gone, especially as Nog’s laptop had died awhile back.

I was a bit confused because I thought each oncology group was for a specific type of cancer, and I’ve seen all three oncs in my group. Well, it turns out that Ana is not only a specialist in breast and colon cancer, but she’s also the second in command of the whole department. And I’ve been told she’s a very no-nonsense kind of person, so I hope I feel more comfortable with her.

So okay, just work with me on this one …
Today I was at the Corte Inglés supermarket with Nog, getting a few things for tomorrow’s “baby step brainstorming” lunch with Pip. Being a Saturday morning the queues were just awful, so I asked Nog if he’d mind waiting in line while I nipped upstairs to have a look at the computers. And ten minutes later I was in love!
