News Flash

Just heard on Women's Hour, on Radio 4, that the new Poet Laureate is Carol Ann Duffy. Let's hear it for the girls!

Computer is still not totally happy - it's taken me for ever to answer emails today, so I don't intend struggling to write a proper post. Hopefully the gremlins won't last for ever? I now have fingers and toes crossed, which may account for difficulty, I hear you chortle...

  2. Sometimes computers do well by being re-started. Do you have an anti virus and spyware program? If not, you may have to get it disinfected.
