More probs

I have recently been deeply affected by one of those peculiarly Philippine technical problems. Although I have broadband to the city house suddenly I had neither a telephone line nor the internet. Five and a half days later once again I was online, after spending what seemed like hours on my handphone to PLDT everyday. The technical problems was diagnosed by PLDT as somebody having stolen a fair length of the cable carrying my services. As I say this is a bit Philippine!

There is still no sign of my belongings, somewhere on the high seas, and the lack of a printer or scanner is wearying so that I am probably going to be forced into alternative methods. Crude but reasonably effective, and I have always been fond of the simple solution; if it works I am not bothered by lack of elegance. I wear belt and braces and happily admit to a liking for Heath Robinson. But I don't really type like this.
