I’ve just taken delivery of a shiny new computer – I am now the proud owner of an ASUS Eee PC. Small, white, perfectly formed. Small as in fits-in-my-handbag small. Ordered yesterday, arrived this morning.

Now all I need to do is be able to understand more than I do about Linux; knowledge to date has been the ability to recognise the penguin when I see it.

Also, am pleased to report that nothing new hurts following yesterday’s 8 miles; and the things that did already hurt aren’t noticeably worse. Hurrah.
