Whew!

It has been a fraught couple of weeks since my last post.

Hopefully I have sorted out the computer hacking.  I have a new credit card and a new pin number and no money appears to have been taken out of my bank account.  The teller at the Bank double checked, shredded my card and sent off for a new one.  Before I used it I needed to know that my computer was clear of nasties so I called in a local expert (Techie does not seem to be around at the moment  -  maybe he has retired).  The new expert, Frank, scanned the computer and found what I had suspected, a malware file, and quarantined it.  I have since deleted it.  He then installed a malware program which hopefully works  - although I acknowledge that the whole episode was entirely my own fault.  So now I have to remember my new pin number.

For ages I have has three of my LED lights not working and I have been waiting for the other shoe to drop before I called in an electrician.  Well, the other shoe has dropped with a thud and the light began flashing Morse code at me just over my work table.  The electrician  is coming back in two days with new lights for me but disconnected the flashing one for me as it was impossible to live with.

Now Facebook is not working properly but so far I have been able to work around that  -  it just takes time.  I know that Google has been having problems and hope that this is all a part of the general upheaval.  And one of the Lifts in A Block is not working and so far it has been impossible to fix.

And I can't use my mobile phone properly yet but that is nothing to do with electronics.  The fault is not in our stars, dear Brutus . . .etc.  I have managed to put in the names of most of the contacts I need and it is only time and inclination which has prevented me from completing that job but there are things in there which I have no idea about; Snake?

On a lighter note:-

There was a young girl from St Paul
Wore a newspaper dress to a ball;
But her dress caught on fire
And burned her entire
Front page, sporting section, and all.
