# I haven't been here in a long, long time....
Hello, wise people. As you can tell from my subject line, I ain't been here for a while. Me and the missus have moved and noticed this weird plant growing on the wall. Can anyone tell me what it is?

# An LC
Ooh Gronkpan! Aren't they pretty! With their little screens and odd random little beeps!

My dad used it for word for a while, but he's upgraded to a (PC) laptop. So it sits in the cupboard with my towels and umbrellas now.
