The catch up

Back again. Last Sunday we had a tremendous storm and the lightning strike scored a direct hit on the phone lines.   So I lost the phones (lovely expensive Phillips ones; that will teach me), the livebox modem, the telephone connection and the internet connection.   Rats.

Luckily the modem is replaced by France Telecom, but it takes a few days. So all I could do was wait. And write notes. And real letters with a fountain pen and that strange thing called paper. I tell you, I felt very 19th century in this electronic silence.

But I’ll try and work backwards and fill you in. I had a busy week. Unlike some who seemed to have slept through it all.
