A VERY NAUGHTY BEAST!

As predicted, the change to broadband hasn't gone like clockwork, it'll be a few days before we're back to normal, in the meantime we're doing this through the (highly expensive) pay-as you go bit.
So message short & cryptic.

The e-mail address looks like it'll be changed too, so basically we're out of contact till further notice, but will return ASAP hopefully faster than before!

See you soon, we're thinking of you!

Wed.8th.Jan--THE BEAST GOES BROADBAND!!!

smiley - discosmiley - geeksmiley - discosmiley - geeksmiley - discosmiley - geek

Tonight between 6.30 & 9pm French time, we (well, actually a friend) will be attempting to transfer onto the broadband thing. This will apparently involve upgrading from Windows 95 to 98, plus some weird card thing called USB. It all means less than not a lot to me, but will apparently make life easier in the long run.

I have been assured that this will NOT involve losing everything, but being of a "what if" mentality, if it did, we would re-register with hootoo under names that you'd recognise & set about re-building it all!

So if there's any smiley - weird things happening when you reach this space ce soir, we haven't died, France hasn't been nuked etc.

Abbi, mrs, Nyssa, Z all have the e-mail etc; but presumably this would all have to be sorted out too in a "worst-case scenario"!

Wish us luck!!

(this also affects contact with smiley - elf of course!)

It's Tuesday Jan 7th here in Angoulême
It's about 7 o'clock in the evening (early for me to be hooting!)

Feeling much more "with-it" than yesterday; the restorative powers of sleep!

Today's RL happenings:
smiley - modsmiley - aliensmilesmiley - chefMango chutney is a resounding success!
I thought of you jazzedupcurry; you'd smiley - loveit!
This 'Chat Masala' idea is DEFINITELY going to happen, though it may be as part of another idea which is part of my evil master plan for world domination (are you with me on this smiley - reindeer?)
smiley - winkeyesmiley - ufosmiley - eureka
Doesn't my alien look pretty in his own little disco?
All due to smiley - elf spending most of today finding out about GuideML (you should see HIS page!) smiley - ta
smiley - thepostXmas card & sweeties from Nyssa (very big smiley - taindeed!)
e-mail from Trudy & Nigel, been trying to get back in touch with them for years. They're living in the Middle East, teaching English. I shall e-mail them back & suggest they join hootoo; they'd love it!
Vero the smiley - vampire came round, demanding a photo of Yoda the smiley - cdoublesmiley - cat & her sister Pudding (who lives with Vero) as she wants to turn them into a T.shirt. I should explain that Vero is (probably) not a smiley - vampire, but is definitelysmiley - weird, plays the flute & is very entertaining, if somewhat distracting "should be taken with aspirin" as smiley - elf would say!
STOP PRESS: smiley - snowball alert for our bit of France!smiley - brr
Just got up from my 2hr snooze, so I'm ready to go!!
What have you lot been up to?

Hello there, unsuspecting Universe!
smiley - zensmiley - devilTerri &smiley - cdoublesmiley - catYoda logging in.
It's 11.30pm here in France.
Today in RL we've been DIY'ing; hanging guitars, mandolins, violins & a banjoline (hands up who knows what that is?) on the living room wall, plus putting up shelves for my tin collection.
Very nice it looks too.
Pat on the back for all concerned (that's you toosmiley - elf!)
