After six weeks' absence, broadband returns to Tense Towers and I can now spend an hour or so sweeping up the many and discarded expletives that litter the office floor. Oh, and I may even have time to upload a blog post!
Thanks, Katie! With the internet being used for more and more of our lives, the space left by the outage was filled with trying to work from home and fulfil volunteer tasks through one intermittent bar of 3G phone signal. Rather frustrating. To make matters worse, the usual life saver in these situations, the computer room at the local library, was also hit by problems. That said, we were loathe to attempt anything involving financial transactions. Thank goodness that I had previously uploaded my dragonfly records to national and county recorders, as that would've been a disaster. Same for completing a tax return. It's scary to think how much is now done online as standard.

Welcome back. Did you find you had more time in your day without internet?
