As promised

Things:

• Came back from the fabulous, beautiful here:
  
  
  

... and then the LOML (I'm blaming her) fell over and broke the new camera I took this on.

• bought a new Dell, it's fabby (got 320gig of memory and dual core and dual DVD rewrite and flat screen and logitech fancy mouse and stuff)

... but haven't sorted out the modem install so having to use the old one for t'internet for the moment, until I

• get a new faster broadband,

... but this means changing my email addresses, including the one on here, and being offline for a week.

and Stuff:

BIG news: the LOML and I are starting a new business. Might explain the paucity of posts now and in the future, huh.

Actually, it's more of an expansion of her current business. Rather than working privately, sort of from home, we're opening a shop in the village. It's only little, but it's ours. Now that I don't have the sads any more, all of a sudden I can actually work and help and everything. I was still working at eleven o'clock last night. Get me.

So, I will try and post from the middle of a big pile of accountants and banks and printers and flooring contractors and shopfitters and all - and my business as well, of course. Which is very busy too, thanks for asking.

But, laydeez an gennelmen, finally, I'm happy.
