Overcast, cool and not warm enough to go outside without a jacket. The forecast says rain tomorrow, too.

Sounds like a great day to warm up the house baking cookies. *nods* I've got some care packages to send out, and it's a good excuse.

I'm not really ready to turn the furnace on yet for the winter - but it's cool enough at night to heat up the herbal pack and tuck it in before heading off to bed. That's in addition to the wool blanket (accept no substitutes) and feather comforter.

It's also coming around to that time of year when gifting becomes acceptable again. There are a couple of things I know I need - like a new phone that rings loud enough to hear (programmable with something I like would be a plus), and I think I want the camera option, please.

We need a new laptop - either to replace Jim's or mine. His is barely useable, mine is a brick that only works with a lot of coaxing. I'm also considering a processor/memory upgrade for ol' Trogdor here.

Geek ever onward.

deense, could you answer a question about ATM systems in Oz? As in, would one of our debit cards from the US work over there? The credit portion I'm not worried about - it's the getting of cash portion I'd like to verify.

*yawn* Breakfast - and putting butter out to soften. Peanut-butter, I think. Or some oatmeal-raisin. Maybe both.
