My computer screen went all magenta last Friday and is being (hopefully) repaired. Maybe by the weekend—they said maybe earlier, but I think it may have died at a mere six months and two days, an infant laptop still under warranty.

Yesterday we spotted a shrew and I followed it about for a couple of minutes, trying to capture photos of its tiny face.
