We’ve had a bit of a reorganisation in the house, with Carmel taking the guest bedroom as her PhD study room. The next dimension has been the banishment of the boys to the Garage Games Room, which we have now named ‘Exile’. A swift IKEA strike has bagged me an identical set of cheap table tops as Cameron.

We are still slightly in flux as we settle down. It’s great! Not only does Carmel get her much needed personal space for study, I get to spend a lot more time with Cam in Exile. Cam loves the dedicated game space away from his bedroom, which now looks quite spartan, apart from some boxes and bed frame that he kindly allowed us to store for now.
Technology has played its part in the transition. I got a Wifi extender so that Cam’s PC and PS4 could access the network. A particular joy was that Carmel gifted me ‘the Dinosaur’, a Lenovo B590 brick laptop running Windows 7 Pro, taking several minutes to open a browser. Hello Ubuntu 18.04, burnt onto a DVD+R; old school! Brilliant. I get my Ubuntu plaything for nuffing.
Oh, and Cam has upgraded his graphics card to a 1050ti. By the time I had got home he’d done it himself and installed all the drivers. Damn, impressed, he’s growing up!
Anyway, that’s it from Exile this week. 🙂
