I gather now, from the Guardian, that it was a ‘misunderstanding’ on the part of RTZ. I feel this probably makes things worse.

Hello, Doug, and welcome!

That’s great news, Squidge. Well done and, I’m sure, well deserved!

@sandradavies Thank you!

Anything to dilute the maths 🙂

Hello @giselle. Lockdown has certainly shown up with extra emphasis the significance of tech in our lives, and especially how its failings can disrupt us. I don’t do social media and live a fairly low-tech life, but making online connections has become vital and so frustrating when they don’t work 🙂

I’m thinking about it too although our broadband connection may not be upto it. I’ve told my SE course group about our internet troubles several times recently. I’m becoming a broadband bore. Anyway, a stand-alone 121 therefore might suit me well if I choose to go for one.

Thanks for posting this, Richard. It’s interesting to hear how people land where they do. I’ve visited, briefly, the area you are in and I can visualise it easily from your piece. I can understand why you and Mrs B are so happy there.

I started working on something this morning, enjoying, just at the moment, not to have to think up a story. That’s not because of the virus but because have been editing the novel and my brain isn’t flexible enough for a sudden shift to other fiction.

Keep on chuffing 🙂

I know what you mean, Jill, about being glad the cogs are moving even if slowly. I find the whole writing process, and actually the reading one too, is an acceleration of thinking processes followed by a deceleration, often to a dead halt, and then getting going again slowly like an old steam train. And that’s without a pandemic.
