New Toy

I have a new computer. It was time to replace my aging Toshiba Satellite laptop with a new more up to date machine. I have been having a horrible experience with my Windows based work machine recently and wanted something robust and fast. So to cut to the chase I ended up buying a Macbook Pro 13". So far I am very impressed with the machine and I am questioning myself why I didn't make the jump across to the apple sooner. The beauty of the situation is the timing as I can get a VAT refund as I am leaving the UK for longer than 12 months. Couple this with the education discount I received (my UCL staff card is still valid, although I no longer work there) and the free Ipod Touch included with the education promo and it is almost a bargain. It also means that I am cool like Robert Webb or Justin Long.

On the beer front, besides the Fuller's Vintage I had a few pints of Summer Lightning at the Gunmakers last Thursday and I had a few cans of lager over the weekend, and there was also a Fullers ESB somewhere in the mix. On Monday night I went for dinner at the Meat and Wine Co. and had a bottle of Windhoek and some ribs. Life is good, but only because I am going home soon...
