Internets!

So the BT engineer who arrived Friday said that the builders who gutted and re-built our house didn't do any of the things they'd need to do in order for a phoneline to be hooked up, and as a result there's going to have to be some sort of dealings between the freeholder and BT to sort it out which may involve ripping up parts of the road and will certainly take ages.

This post is courtesy of our local Internet cafe, who back onto our back garden and who have kindly connected my wireless router to their network in return for a small amount of money.

Oh God it's good to have Internets back.
