Thanks ISB! Yeah it seems it may actually have been the charger - guy came out this morning and checked both battery and charger, but seemed to think the problem lay in the latter - so we can't use it now till they get us a replacement. Luckily I have the other battery fully charged, so that should last us two weeks, by which time we'll hopefully have the new charger/battery.

Scary stuff, though. Guess someone was looking after us (probably my ma).

Close call TH good thing you found out about it sooner than later.

Definitely. I reckon otherwise the first thing I would have known about it was when it exploded and I found myself surrounded by red guys with pointy horns and pitchforks and wishing I had dressed more lightly.

Andrew Lincoln (Rick from Walking Dead) has been shopping in my store a lot recently. They're filming some Walking Dead spinoff show around north Jersey and he's apparently a jazz collector. Anyway, he's been coming in on his off days and we've had a lot of chats about music. He's been buying some of my recommendations and asking me questions about certain artists he doesn't know.

I find it all kind of surreal. Not that a famous person likes the same things I like, but rather how effortlessly easy it is to talk to him. Just a normal guy that kills humans and zombies on screen for a living.

Wow crazy I would fangirl way too much and he'd end up hating our interactions. Good on you for treating him like a regular joe.

There's a quote from Mozart's journal that perfectly describes my day

"Today I experienced nothing. Also nice."

I'm currently on a 10-days vacation from work

^ That's a good quote, Danza ! I bet Trollheart wishes his day had been like that!

That's a horrible experience, TH: when what you assume is the safety of your own home is called into question. Lucky you were able to track down the source of the problem. Well done.

Uje I hope nobody got hurt

No but it was a close thing. Had I gone to bed and left it plugged it it probably would have exploded or gone on fire. I'm trying not to think about it. Luckily all was well.
