I would like to apologise to my several readers (including my dog Gemma, and cats, Biscuit and Ellie), for the infrequent updates to my stories.
It is a tale of woe to match any saga.
There I was on the Internet, surfing away merrily, a light song on my lips, when suddenly it happened.
My connection dropped.
After screaming a few choice naughty words, I checked my router by thumping it; no joy. I then cursed it; no help. I even switched it off and on again - nope.
I had had problems before with my provider and because of this, I had requested a MAC number and told them that I was transferring to somewhere that didn’t have a call centre in Outer Mongolia and above all a call centre that was staffed by English speaking people; not ones that only conversed in Outer Mongolianese and with an expertise on par with a particularly thick amoeba.
Unfortunately, Tiscali, my ISP didn’t just send me a MAC number, oh no, they then kindly cancelled the line and service immediately, leaving me high and dry. Hence I do not have broadband and I only have the dreaded dial up connection that takes an hour to load a page — well it seems like that, anyway. Much of my work uses the Internet and now that I have only have dial up, it will take a lot more time to do what I have to do.
Hence, there will be some delays in posting stories for which I humbly apologise.
Normal service will, I hope be back up and running by next week.
Frustrated hugs
Sue
