And we’re back!
Well the nightmare of the crackling phone is over!!!! 
For the last 3 weeks have had the most horrendous telephone connection – hissing spitting and crackling like something possessed – bouncing me off the internet if it would even let me connect … 
I did report it 4 times to be told that the line was ok (they test it remotely) and it could be my equipment – so one new handset and internet cable later they eventually sent out an engineer who replaced the whole wire from the pole to the house … wonder if I can claim for the new handset … well they would have charged me if it wasn’t their fault 
still its fixed now – I feel like I’ve got broadband – and it sounds as if My Beloved is next to me (wish he was 
) instead of 12 000 miles away …
Other than that life goes on …
The Super League season has started 
but so much for it being a ‘Summer’ sport – last week my boys lost in a snow storm 
The new imports from Lands Down Under 
must have wondered which planet they’d landed on!
And last night they ground out a win on the French Riviera … by playing ‘water ‘rugby – My On The Spot Reporter said it was raining so much 
there was a ’swimming pool’ in one corner of the pitch !! Good job our captain had packed his trunks and water wings to save the day!!! 
Somethings never change ….
for now
