The VT Boys are good of sorting things out

Last Weekend The VT Boys had to sort out some issues with the newly build computer for Mr.Garfield, the graphics card was not working properly and the drivers had to be re-installed, after 5 minutes it was all done and the computer was back up and running again.
Mr.Biscuits had a small memory upgrade on his laptop and he was able to put it in all by himself. Because this weekend was a bit short of time we started the BBQ early to get the burgers and sausages on because all this work was making us hungry.

The weather was very hot, but we did find some time to play in the garden. The BBQ was a great success and all was gone in no time. The two older VT Girls had a nice walk together, while the other two stayed at home doing other activities. The drive home was lovely, it was light and it was still very warm.

Mr.Garfield had a few exams the week before and he said it was very easy to do them, also Mr.Biscuits won a price in a local news paper competition - he was very proud.

The VT Boys playing with the new iMac

This weekend the weather was very bad and we had no chance to go out, so we had to stay in again. We have always something to do, because the VT Boys are crazy about computers, specially Apple Macs. We are very lucky if it comes of playing with Apple Macs as we have many in this house, from iPod Touch to 27" Imac with a Intel i7 quad core processor.

Now if it comes to playing games this machine is the best all in one you can have, with a whopping 2Gb ATI 6970m graphics card this is simply the best. Last week when we setup up, we did all sorts of things to make it crash however it did not work.

For lunch we had beacon sandwiches, with brown sauce or ketchup. In the afternoon we had to sort out Mr.Biscuits laptop as the sound was not working on it, which was no problem for Mr.Mac as it was fixed in no time. For Fathers day Mr.Mac received a nice card from all the VT Boys and some chocolates - lovely.

The VT Boys had fun

Mr.Garfield testing out his new computer
Not bad graphics
Last weekend the VT Boys had a sleepover as it was a bank holiday, it was a total surprise for all of us, which was great. We had planned to go to the Animal park however the weather was not that good so we did some indoor activities. We had lots to do as Mr.Garfield's new computer needed testing out. This time Mr.Mac and Mr.Mac Jr. put together a Dual Processor Xeon 2.4Ghz with 4 virtual cores and 4Gb of DDR Ram.

This machine is't to bad but the graphics card needs a update, over the next few week we are going to have a look for one on Ebay. We had cheese and ham toasties, but in the process of making them the toastie maker broke. In the evening when Mr.Biscuits was in bed Mr.Mac and Mr.Garfield watched IP Man 2, what a great film, this film follows on from the first IP Man film and is even better.

We all had a good night rest, as some of the VT Girls had also a sleepover somewhere else. We all had breakfast in the morning, and it was time to do some jobs around the house. First we had to clear out the rubbish out of the shed and go to the dump. After this Mr.Biscuits and Mr.Mac cleaned out the car (Mr.Biscuits did a great job) and we had the car washed by the turks down the road. On our way back to drop the VT Boys back home we played our favourite music from Supertramp.
