Hi everyone, I'm writing this at the local library because my modem appears to be broken. We returned from our beach holiday on Saturday - I'd taken the modem with me to see if it worked up on the central coast but there didn't appear to be coverage there and I didn't particularly want it anyway - I was very happy to have a computer-free two weeks. When we got back I connected the modem as usual and turned it on and ... nothing. My ISP (Unwired) is sending me a free new 'power pack' (which is probably a new plug) - if that doesn't work I'll have to buy a new modem. Boring. There's nothing worse than returning from holiday and finding that several small but irritating things have gone wrong and you have to deal with them first before you can resume normal life. (Actually, there are many things worse than that but I'm in the mood to complain.)
Lottie is alive and well! Superdog!She went swimming every day and is eating heartily (nothing but raw meat from now on). I have no idea why she recovered or even why she got so sick in the first place. The first couple of days away we were like the amazed parents of a newly-walking baby - "Look, she's standing up!" "Look, she's taken 10 steps to go and lie in the sun!" "Look, she wants to go swimming!"[she would go to the gate and stand facing in the direction of the beach] Her recovery made our holiday a very happy one.
More to follow when next I get computer access...
Welcome home. I'm please to hit Lottie is still part of the family.

My modem is working again! It turned out to be the power plug/connection lead, a new one of which arrived today. Normal blogging should commence soon.
