Bandwidth!

Oh, it's nice to have bandwidth again. For the last couple of weeks I've been limited to about three quarters of an hour of dialup every couple of days, which is just enough to check two email addresses and skim my flist. So I'm sitting here in my recliner, with CNN wittering in the background, rediscovering all the other bits of the web I usually check and metabolizing real coffee. I should go out for groceries soon, before it gets too hot. Later, I might post some photos; I took nearly 500, so there are plenty to choose from. (Amazingly, it didn't rain once while I was in Sheffield; that's just about unprecedented, and exactly the opposite of what we were expecting. We finally gave up waiting for a rainy day to check out the refurbished local museum and went on a fine one, and I picked up a mild sunburn on my arms on Friday.)

Oh, and that footnote problem in the latest Jasper Fforde? Printing error, according to jasperfforde.com. I thought that might be it.

I should be in bed.
