Well, I'm back in Wem overnight before trekking back down to London tomorrow.

I have spent a great deal of time this afternoon trying to work out precisely what my brother-in-law did to this PC to make it shy away from connecting to the intarweb via a perfectly good broadband connection (It's wasted on him and my sister, you know). I still don't know what he did, but I had to reinstall the software from the floor up, but anyhoo, it's working now.

Mid October is probably not the time time to spend 5 days or so at the coast at these latitudes and in a caravan, to boot! (That would be a trailer to my North American readers). In th great scheme of things, the wind that howled in off Cardigan Bay would make such worthies as crazedgiggles, who lives on Hurricane Alley, laugh, but when it brings rain and hail with it - some of the hail as particularly impressive sized cubes, well... On Thursday, the sea had been whipped into a fair old frenzy, and from a standing start, too. There was enough foam building up on the beach and blowing inland to suggest that a shipment of Proctor and Gambles finest soap powder had gone down with all hands during the night. Hmm... soft-handed zombies with a lemony freshness...

Anyway, a proper update tomorrow, methinks, once I get back to <London and don't get interrupted every ten keystrokes.
