Hi people. 10 days ago there was a major power surge problem in the house,not sure what it was all about,but no less than 4 electric circuits went off.Took hours to sort it out. Wifi was off for hours,so no TV,tablet etc,and when I finally sorted everything out I found my laptop had blown its circuits. Got a new one now,but it was a pain setting everything up from scratch,but at last I am able to update for April.
I managed 23/21 days
Put me down for 21 days for May
Things fairly calm wth Mr Dusty,he will have another scan later in the month to see if that horrible stuff around his heart has gone away,but for now at least physically he seemed pretty much OK
