Still here

The Gloriana concert on Sunday went well - let's hope the ABC liked it. This week has been pretty frantic with buying last minute things and madly washing clothes.

Today I had lunch at Mum's before going into work, which was a bit hectic as we were missing a few people. Not much to post at the moment, but hang around, I'm sure there'll be some interesting stuff before long.

Eight sleeps

More work and less concentration today.

Last night on the way home in the rain I dropped in at Mountain Designs in Smith Street (where I got the electrical adaptor plug thingy) and bought myself a rain jacket and a dinky folding umbrella.

Later nephew R (who is moving in first rather than S) took me out to Victoria Street for dinner. We had a good chat and I tried to remember all the things I needed to tell him about the house, cat, etc. He's off today to Nhill to plant lots of trees (a LandCare project, I think).

Not long now

Off to the clinic this morning to get some sleeping tablets for the flight; I want to make sure I'm alert for the first few days of the drive around Britain. Then up to Smith Street for breakfast. Afterwards I managed to find a European power-point adaptor at the shop opposite Katmandu and then had a brisk walk home to hang out the washing.

I came into town a bit early to see if I could find luggage and a waterproof jacket. I can't decide about the luggage and the jacket I liked wasn't available in my size. So I'm feeling a little thwarted.

Work tonight.

Hmmm

It seems I'm not the only person to be experiencing problems with Blogger. When I went in to register for help I was directed to check a few other areas before continuing. One of these was a discussion group where I posted a request for help - but looking through all the other posts there seemed to be a general problem appearing.

Blogger are in the process of moving to an upgraded version and it seems that this migration could be causing some of the problems.

We'll see...

In the meantime I'm going to persist with this site until the old one is reliably returned to service. Stay tuned.

I'm back

Because of something silly I did earlier today my previous blog at fcprain.blogspot.com has disappeared. Now this might only be temporary (I have emailed the Blogger help people about it) or it might not. So I thought I'd start up a new one at this address.

But of course the problem is now to inform everyone what the new address is.
