Hopefully, normal service has resumed...

Phew, that was a bit nerve-wracking!

Apart from nearly wiping off every comment a few weeks ago, I nearly lost the bloody blog as well!

I just need a little time to settle down now, light a beer, and ponder life as we know it!

I think your missus should take over.

You've not been quite the same after your op so maybe you're unintentionally using that finger to press certain buttons instead of another hence the tits-up situation. Why don't you strap it down when you're typing then you'll be your old self again and then you'll be the man we know and love instead of being a daft tart!

Can't you just shout at it when it goes wrong? I do.

Why Blogger decided to change the log-in layout yet again, is beyond me, Thud!

It was all going swimmingly well, until I had to piddle about with rearranging the three accounts (oh yes, there are more..;0), and get back to reality!

Seems OK now, but if they do it again, I'll look at one of the others for a change.

That particular digit is just fine now, Goosey, so it doesn't get in the way (or the splint does perhaps)...

Mind you, I've just had three days of dreadful food-poisoning, for which a diet of Collis Browns and Pils lager seems to have been the correct remedy!

It just deviates a bit these days, doesn't it!

That's the best managerial result one could engender, Mr H!

Our new mouse is just great too, so I've ordered yet another for the laptop, and away we go!

I hope it's not the same food poisoning (or whatever it is) that I'm trying to recover from because it's not been nice at all and it's something I haven't experienced for a long, long time! I would have asked my OH for a medicinal brandy and port but then he'd have seen the rather reduced contents of both bottles which wouldn't have gone down well at all, so I'm trying G's&T along with a morsel of steamed haddock and boiled pots for my evening repast. Last night I had beans on toast which in the circumstances possibly wasn't the best choice but at least I'm still alive - just! AK, I sometimes have to shout at mine but we don't seem to use the same language so I switch it off then switch it back on again. If that doesn't work I just kick it somewhere near where the leads are inserted and yo, away I go!

Goosey - yes I would say that switching these gadgets off then back on again cures a good 95% of our problems with phone, tablet, Kindle or laptop. Manufacturers may as well stick a note on the back to that effect.

AK, they did but someone in one of their managerial departments concerned with saving some wonga decided to go for a cheaper option. Of course this was put to tender at some expense which resulted in a certain type of handshake along with a rolled-up trouser leg. All was going rather smoothly until a newly-appointed secretary happened to mention that in these days of austerity she presumed they came with the necessary adhesive. This prompted a lot of paper-shuffling, several a-hems, and the previously-filled tantalus became rather depleted to say the least! Said secretary popped along to Aldi to replenish the said tantalus and got the receipt which she kept in a safe place in case there was a slight lapse in memory the next morning. The next day after she'd supplied the recumbents who did not make it home she suggested there was a cheaper option that won't cost you anything. I've got a contract which I want to you sign before I reveal what it is and my personal biros are available should you wish to sign the agreement but please read the terms beforehand. With shaking hands all was duly done with sighs of relief all round until someone asked what the solution was. Smiling primly she told them when she was younger when stamps had no adhesive you just used some saliva and stuck them on the envelope! When I next arrange your board meeting may I have your permission to place various spittoons secreted under the floral displays so I can determine who is the best man for the job.

Back in my day, Goosers, we used to keep the stamp edging left over from taking them out of the perforationed bit, and just use that for sticking things!

Blue Peter stuff really, although I don't remember Val Singleton having a 'sticky back' - she was much more elegant I thought...
