Blimey, that's the longest I've gone between posts, like ever, I think. This was partially due to the abysmal connection speed, which gets worse on a daily basis. So called Virgin Media, whose telephone helpline is as impenetrable as Alcatraz is inescapable ! (and from July 1st they are set to charge 25p per minute for the helpline - I was once on for 2 hours with them, that's 30 of your earth quids!) - enough moaning.

The other reason is the hazy funk that sometimes falls over me, where I can't seem to get anything done (I have watched a lot of DVDs this week, a whole season of "UFO", and a whole load of Seinfeld episodes).

Lastly ,for now, I may be having a house guest soon, since I literally haven't had a visitor (except my daughter) for nearly two years! this is something of a momentous occasion!
