Just a brief message to let you know that I'm still around. I've recently moved house and had one week earmarked to get settled. Unfortunately British Telecom alongside my ISP have not managed to reconnect my ADSL connection in what is now turning into the third week. Apparently my line will be up on friday which will bring the excercise close to a full three weeks turnaround. I can confirm: the internet does no longer work on dialup.
Three weeks! that's pretty ridiculous especially when you consider that I kept my phone number, moved 300 yards around the next corner and had my actual phone line reconnected before I had time to unpack the first box. But there you go, 'no point getting worked up' I tell myself. To be absolutely honest I would have been very surprised if there hadn't been a hitch and I finally know why moving house is apparently one of the most stressful things one can do and no, I won't be doing it again anytime soon -especially now that I have a nice view from my home office window, with fields beyond. For those of you who play golf, yes I will be incorporating a cup (flag is still pending approval by my wife) onto that green ;-)
More useful updates to follow soon, I promise.
