Fingers crossed
The internet is down at home and it’s only when that happens, I realise how dependent we are on it. Despite my efforts to fix (pretty basic, switch on and off), and Tommy’s and Denis’s (more involved), it is still down. Unfortunately the internet at home isn’t straight forward. The boys have all sorts of ‘fancy’ things set up, eg server sitting on a shelf (just a few electronic components wired together with a noisy fan), which doesn’t make it easy when something goes wrong.
I was speaking with somone last night who said he could do nothing without passwords. The passswords are as I write ‘cycling around San Francisco’ (Eldest Mouse) or ‘interrailing around Europe’ (Middle Mouse). Murphy’s Law means that when the cat’s mice are away, the normally perfectly behaved internet plays.
John left on Tuesday morning. Internet goes down Tuesday evening.
Because up to now I have been well served with help when my computer, internet, anything techy acts up, I have developed no techy genes at all. Instead I always ask for help from the nearest male. However they are now getting fewer. It looks like I will have to grow some ‘techiness’ for my older age. Tommy please start teaching me!
Normal blogging service will resume, when normal internet service is restored …
Fingers crossed for today.

Normal internet service has now been resumed courtesy of “he who only puts the meat on the barbeque”
… well almost normal… not working in office yet
I know how you feel, Lily. Although the internet has not gone down at home, I was sans internet for much of my trip to Montreal which caused me to realize how much I take it for granted.
I have my fingers crossed that nothing happens to the internet here while the only person that knows how to fix it (who also happens to be a man) is away (also in San Francisco).
Lily, I feel your pain. Alas my Internet went AWOl on Wednesday at lunchime and I had no mice to help me. When I returned from hospital on Thursday evening with Elly it was working fine. Maybe the word got out…(you don’t mess with my Elly!).

‘Fingers crossed’ does work! I came back from two days away to internet that works, yippee
No seriously thanks to Den15 and TrustTommy!
Arianne, Grannymar seems we all are dependent on the internet …
