Lean times ...

It seems that I had almost become an ex-blogger (and also almost an ex-podder, too). The last few months, well since the end of January at least, have been a difficult time.

Shirley, my wife, had a stroke on January 25th. She is now doing extremely well, but it has been a trying time.

There is something of the story to be found at www.shirleyweatherby.blogspot.com

Back to the blog

At last. I am back blogging again! These past few weeks i have suffered severe withdrawal symptoms as my broadband connection was none existent. The details - more than 40 phone calls and still no adequate response - would bore you in the extreme.

On 21st September I was supposed to transfer from BTinternet to Sky Broadband. The promised service from Sky should have started just a few hours after BT cut me off.... Even today, 21st November, they still can't connect me, and - to cut a very long story short - basically blame BT. It is an 'ongoing problem'.

In the meantime I've been able to get connected through Talk Talk via another telephone number in the house. There service has - so far at least - been excellent.
