No posts for the past few weeks. My laptop was smashed up by my sister-in-law, and it's taken this long to get it up and running again, though with limited capabilities.
She stayed with us for a week or so following a death in the family. A less than delightful woman when sober, she becomes a screaming maniac after a few drinks. Australians call such people 'two pot screamers', which is appropriate. For reasons she's kept to herself she picked up my laptop from the kitchen table and smashed it down a couple of times with full force, amazingly destroying only the hard drive in the process.
The widow of a celebrated professor of Media Studies at a prestigious university, she has more than enough spare cash to replace the laptop, but denies all memory of the incident. I had to replace the hard drive myself. This is the second time her berserk antics have cost me dearly. Previously I lost more than £5000 when she called the police when drunk and reported me for certain admittedly illegal, but in no way immoral, activities I happened to be engaged in.
