Wed Sept 27th lateish at night
O rejoice and be glad! O announce the good news!!

Fountains in the suburbs of London should flow with wine! Have church bells rung! Announce a holiday for all the schoolchildren!!

The BOGLE FAMILY IS ONCE AGAIN CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET!!

This means I can start doing more interesting things with this blog: pictures, proper links, even correction of typing errors.

O joy! O bliss! O the gloriousness of not having to whizz about on my bicycle from library to Internet Cafe simply to get things written!
Am settled back here at my own desk in book-filled study, dear pic of Jamie (in unform, taken 20 yrs ago when he was a subaltern), small statue of St James dressed as a pilgrim, stack of books underfoot as nowhere else to put them, rosemary bush outside window faintly scenting the air, mug of ready promising blissful sips....aaah, THIS is the way to write a blog.
