A quick trip to a computer repair revealed a fried ac adaptor, most likely because we we're using a voltage convertor instead of a prong adaptor. According to the guy, voltage convertors don't work reliably for anything larger than a razor. Interestingly most computers can handle either 110 or 220 volts, you just need the right plug.
At not to much money we got a new ac adaptor that works fine with a UK plug, we'll need a EU plug when we head to France. For the most part though, no problem.
Speaking of razors though, my nice electric trimmer died. I didn't even plug it in, it came out of the bag dead.
It did spark to life one morning, and I excitedly shaved a thick linre on my face before it died completetely. Rather than go to Scotland looking like a Bond villain, I tidied it up as best I could with Jessi's razor, and got my own a couple days later. I'll look scraggy in pictures till I get the hang of this thing.
