That's the right general area! Ok I admit, we're very exaggerate about the weather here, and talk about it to an almost obsessive level. The first months of the year can be very rough in terms of rain, wind, cold and lack of sun though, it can wear you down. But a lack of water we certainly do not have!
I was lucky to the eldest of the cousins, and the C64 was actually a gift from my uncle to all of us, even my Dad, who briefly held on to the notion of using it to do personal accounting.
It will be my first blogging topic here, especially since it's pricked a few eyes.
Thanks for the comment, I'm blown away by the votes on a first post! Seems like a great community.
