Radio silence.....

.... or why I've not been blogging/ visited any of my usual sites. Our internet access at home has been down for the last 10 days or so, and we still don't know what the problem is (although it seems like some kind of fault on the line). So I'm having to access via a friend's computer, which means that I can't spend my usual several hours a day surfing, and what little time I do have has to focus around work (of which there is a lot at the moment). Trying to work from home without instant internet access is a complete and utter nightmare!
So, in case anyone was wondering why I've not been around, now you know. Hopefully "normal service" will resume before too long. And I'll finally get a chance to catch up with all the news that I've missed recently.
