after nearly 20 days of enforced deprivation, I can once again feed my internet "habit" anytime, anywhere thanks to a brand new wireless router and internet provider that answers phone calls in under a minute (hallelujah - where have these people been all my life!?). In effect, the internet "drip" has been reinstalled in the vein, and all is sunshine and smiles again at 36YR :)
Of course the main usage will be for my studies and research on coursework and the restoration of service has been very timely, as I have several deadlines coming up before the end of the month!
You may be pleased to know, by the way, that the quality and effectiveness of time spent on campus improved dramatically towards the end of the week (I struggle to imagine how it could have deteriorated!), culminating in a lovely day out at RHS Wisley Gardens on Saturday to look at medicinal herbs "in the flesh" so to speak, before they are processed into teas, decoctions, tinctures etc. 6 weeks in to the course, I am finding the subject matter (i.e. Botany, Anatomy, Physiology, Histology etc.) more interesting than ever and am inspired to do the mountain of reading that will be necessary for me to pass the first semester. Wish me luck and watch this space..
