Well. It's almost a year since I posted anything here. And this time it's not an ankle, it's pre-patellar bursitis... otherwise known as house-maids knee. I was doing some lifting and moving in the garage and must have bumped it. The snow blower needed to go to the back and the lawn mowers had to be brought forward. That damned Husqvarna snow blower is a hell of a difficult thing to move without the drive running. I know this is a bit mixed up, but so am I these days.

So I have a week or so to recover before it's tree felling time again. My... but the time goes by. It's Easter Sunday tomorrow and Good Friday was my birthday. The weather as usual is awful. It's dribbling down and there is a mist on our little meadow. Nearly all the snow has gone, as is the DNA cell phone network. We've been out of touch for days now and it seems that the base station has gone haywire. No one can get us by phone and we can't make calls. I'm relying on Skype now and since the quality is far better than the DNA service anyway, it's no problem for outgoing calls.

If the service is not restored by Tuesday I'm going to the city to change over to another service, Sonera I think. They seem to know what they're doing because our DSL network is quite good.

Happy Easter to anyway who happens to see this
