rain, rain...

Well, it's raining again - though with so many people suffering from flooding, we really have nothing to complain about, other than wet clothes and feet and a muddy carpet.

As it is so wet today, I am going to spend some of my time struggling  again with coming to terms with some of the social networking sites. I say, 'struggling', because it's not just that it's all an alien world to me, but also that the task involves practicing extreme patience. Our broadband service is so slow - less that 0.5 mega- whatsits - that it can take half an hour to get onto the net and another fifteen or  twenty minutes just to move onto another page. We have just learned, too, that, although we were all promised Superfast Broadband in the next year or two in this area,  10% of the patch won't get it. Guess who?

Why is there so much official insistence on doing things on line? Not all of us have the facility, even if we have the will or inclination. Something needs to be done!
