Phone and Broadband are Connected!

I have been absent from this blog for three weeks, due to a fire that occurred opposite my house, in the cable junction box at the top of the telephone pylon. It wiped out my phone line and broadband, so meant I was down to using my iPhone for all calls and 3G to connect to the internet.
I couldn't use my laptop to make any new blog posts as it relies solely on broadband connection.

Yesterday the telephone company finally came out to fix it, and this house breathed a massive sigh of relief!
It makes you think back to the days before mobile phones and the world wide web. How did I manage to grow up in the 70's/80's with just that television computer game that was similar to tennis but just had two white lines and a ball that pinged back and forth?!

It has been the Easter holidays here, so we have been able to get out and about quite a bit, and because the weather was so mild, we spent many days at the beach.
J went back to school today, and has now moved to his new class, the one I had requested several weeks ago. First impressions of his new teacher are all good, and I hope he can go back to be happy at school, with none of the stress that was caused by his previous teacher.

 I will try to do more writing for the blog over the next week or so, but life is still the same, and J is still J.
