Burlington Diary March 2008
Sat.01.03.08. It is approximately two years since the project first began. It is significant that the result of this labour has meant that I have worn out the keyboard on the PC consequently I am now using this years ‘new black’ model, a black keyboard. But, perhaps more significantly I have also developed a face that resembles cheap mince on account of all the bup that has been consumed over the same period. It is no bad thing that the car is almost complete. I certainly do not want to buy another keyboard.
The definitive list of components from various suppliers has been compiled. Unlike previous orders I shall attempt to perfect the lists so that we receive all the necessary parts, not the ones that we have bought in the past and lost.
