Apologies to those of you who check into the blog in the early morning, I was unable to post this morning due to my laptop suffering some kind of cardiac arrest. I managed to resuscitate dear lappie, but then a whole raft of other things (including connecting to the internet) were unavailable to me as it made a slow recovery. I have now backed up all my files and photos and will be seeking to purchase a new external hard drive (old one nearly full) to back up the entire computer. What a morning!
