Wednesday… Autumn round the corner?

It was a lovely sunny weekend, not without its events, but I can’t help noticing that there is that little edge to the air that heralds the arrival of autumn. Still, there is always the chance of an Indian Summer, and a long autumn is not an unpleasant prospect – evocative of bonfires of leaves, […]

Friday…Bananarama

Those of you that read the comments regularly will know that there are little subtexts going on, and a couple of weeks ago Gillian (a fellow campaigner for broadband) mentined riding on bananas, which prompted comments from Richard (another campaigner) asking for photos!

We do use VOIP, but the new phone has a cordless handset and can interface both to VOIP accounts […]

Friday…back at work!

The only problem with going away is the return to work! Actually it isn’t that bad! I did pop in briefly on Tuesday afternoon, and then returned properly on Wednesday morning. However it is the holiday period so all is pretty quiet. Last night a few of us went for a ‘quiet drink’ in Old […]
