Disaster!

This morning, having nearly emptied the battery on my tablet after a lot of writing yesterday, we went down to where the truck was parked to retrieve my mains charger. (Normally I can recharge using one of the truck's cigarette lighter sockets when we're rolling.) I brought the mains charger back into our room to use. I don't know if it was because the room was dark or if it was because I'd not used this particular charger for a while - it's a multipurpose one bought from Maplin, not my usually one from home - but I forgot that the interchangeable plugs/sockets of different sizes can be put on such that the tip is either positive or negative, and guess what: I forgot to check and the 50/50 chance went against me. Then consequence is I've blown up my tablet, the thing I was using to write my posts on drive days or when Juli is using her netbook to upload photos, which usually takes a long time in most hostels/campsites. All of which means you won't be getting such long and detailed posts from me any more.

(Did someone just cheer?)
