Good to hear from you, too, Liam! You are certainly not forotten.
I thought that I might get a chance to catch up with some of you
Southerners (I think you are not far from London, Liam) at the end of
May. We've got another grandkid due in a couple of weeks -- somewhere
around Sidcup -- but thought we'd give Luke and Viv a couple of weeks
before invading. We've also got grandkid 3 due locally (Sydney) at the
end of April.
Anyway, we were all systems go when my wife's specialist advised her
strongly not to go until all her health issues are stabilised. :-(
Maybe 2006...
It would have been only a fortnight, so we'd miss Owen again, anyway.
So, I'll just keep reading PCA and looking for articles by people I know...
BTW, Armand, I decided on cable broadband+wireless in the end. Only a
few Cat5 cables hung over doorways now. I think my wife is relatively
happy with that. She gets her own PC (Celeron 400, nothing world
shattering), I sit with a laptop wherever I like as long as I don't get
too near the cordless phone, and an old Celeron 333 sits in the study
handling most print jobs for both of us, and minding the photos of
grandkid No1.
It's very civilised, except that the dog can hear my wife's computer if
she leaves it running overnight; and, the moment his eyes open at 5am,
he thinks she is up and ready to feed and greet him. If you hear of an
old bloke in Sydney being arrested for aggravated cruelty to a
defenceless Shih-tzu dog...
Cheers all,
Peter
