Frustration/computers

Broadband connection problems - again. After disconnecting the broadband connection I found the telephone to be giving trouble (made a noise as though already connected but other phones in house were ok.) Re-connected broadband and it worked!

A further check throws the filters into suspicion.

Various.

Harry expects extraction tomorrow.

Installed ZoneAlarm and it appears to be ok.

Sent a couple of SMS messages from Skype (to 8 Badgers and to Jean's mobile). To 8 Badgers they came through quickly but to Jean's mobile it looks as though they take at least 1/2 an hour!

Another puncture, as well as a gear problem.

Hello and Picasa AND Bicycle lamps!

Picasa organises photos and Hello sends them (I think).

Bicycle lamps can still be a menace. The contacts in them are very sensitive and I need to find the best way of adjusting them.

Airport

Breakfast at "John Lennon" airport.

Refresh

The need to refresh after every new posting or comment is something to keep in mind.

Southport

Harry got on OK at Stroke Clinic yesterday. He will be having to go for one or more scans. He doesn't seem put out by the plan.

He expects to get the cruet by about the middle of next week and will comment on it to help Jean decide whether to recommend to Gwladys.

French

Have been battling with various CDs, all of which are meant to make the learning of French, easy!
