Turns out that the posting thing is a problem with AOL users.

Hardly surprising. Do people really consider that to be an efficient ISP ?in this century??

Maybe I flatter myself, but it seems that for some technical reason no-one is able to post comments on this blog.

Not many people do anyway, but it's not just that any more. Apparently you can't.
Even if you might have wanted to.
I have chaecked the FAQs and all my settings are correct.
So I've posted a request for help too. We shall see.

In the meantime, I'm celebrating the completion of my 'homer' tonight. Dspite a resolution not to work on Sunday nights again.
Justified to myself by taking Saturday off as we didn't get back from the Farm until quite late after an exhausting day.
Always difficult there when it rains (and bitterly cold too...) so we spent no more than half an hour in the paddock.
Chaos in the house though with a visit from the zany Great Aunt and one of D's mates.
I'm always so impressed by his relationship with all his friends - many of whom he still sees regularly even from schooldays.
This is a quality I much admire, myself being more inclined to move on more or less whenever I move house or circumstances change.
I am more one of those people who keep just a small handful of close friends with whom I have survived the years.
Tx is the same, so we understand each other like that very well.

But I do have much respect and admiration for them as do it differently and are very good at and keen on keeping in touch.

It was effectively our third Christmas, with a big exchange of presents. And three birthdays too.
Lots of cake...

Arrived home to find the year's first CD-R on the mat and I am currently listening to the very 'uncomfortable' Appar*tus and H*nd, whose promo is called Junk Rece*ver. Not even going to attempt a review yet, but there are some interesting elements. Sounds mostly like radio 'interference', morse code and acoustic guitar, but there was a rumble of deeply distorted vocal on one track at least.
I have still to detect any sense of melody or tune - but it's not turning me off?

I feel like Peel - so many people send me 'stuff'. Why is that?
Elements of Holger Czukay's Movies at the very least, but the reference to OMD's Dazzle Ships is much less obvious.

A far cry from the in-car entertainment as we battled through a storm on the M3, but it was such fun to have even the kids singing and Boy getting his first serious go with an air guitar...
