How nice to go shopping in the sprawling metropolis that is Aberystwyth and find an Amiga print mag in WH Smiths. Had to be bought for a nice read with a snack. Thanks @amigamagazine!

Finally reassembled my #C64 and #C64c after the boards were recapped and main chips heat-sinked by the *fantastic* @MutantCatpillar! My A1200 board and Apollo 1230 will be winging their way for recapping soon!

A parcel we sent to Ireland using @parcel2go has just come back as we forgot the tariff code. The live helper (Maria Ro) was excellent and we didn't even have to pay to re-send, even though it was our fault! Exemplary service from P2G.

Thanks to @MutantCatpillar for the amazing white pen that helped to tidy up the Interface 1 logo. Completes the refurb job after I finally got round to installing the upgraded vLA1 chip. Love the #SPECTRUM #8bit #Retro
