Hey aren't these computer things weird?
I came on yesterday to write to you about what I had been doing and it said I couldn't. I said I could and told it to stop being silly but it was quite adamant and said it couldn't work. I thought it might be the annual computer day of rest so I was about to leave it when two legs walked in.
"What have you done to it?" he asked - notice how it is immediately my fault when something goes wrong. It couldn't just happen. It couldn't be someone else's fault. It has to be me.
"I just switched it on to tell them what I have been doing.!"
"I bet you've been playing with it and done something you shouldn't. You put you great big paws in the stupidest of places!"
Now that hurt. I am always careful where I put my paws and I don't think they are great big anyway. I decided to sulk.
I heard him muttering and moaning and searching about for disks and things and I thought it must be something serious. I tried to remember if I had hit any funny buttons but I am sure I didn't.
"Well," he announced emerging from under his desk with a clutch of disks "That's just about put the tin lid on it. Lost everything. Got to re-build the thing from scratch. All your work has gone my friend. You won't see me for the rest of the day!"
He shut himself away and was moaning and groaning about this and that and then cheering that something had gone right. I kept a low profile!
Eventually he emerged and said he had put it back together but not everything was there where it had been.
I asked him where my notes to you were and he said he had got some of them back and the rest would ahve to stay in the memory of the readers. I thought that was unfortunate but then you have good memories so that's OK.
I settled down to write up what I had been doing and do you know - I had completely forgotten!
