Technology is not my friend.
As soon as I'd sorted out my electric kettle, the computer fell over, causing me to burst into tears and retire to make lots of tea, but I managed to fix it by the simple strategy of getting my brother over and pointing him at it. I'm still not entirely sure what was wrong with it (probably a virus), but it seems to be ok now.
Not much happening this week, apart from that, and some sort of cold or hay-fever, that left me feeling very sniffly and tired for a couple of days. Much better now (fingers crossed).
Anyway, I'm now looking forward to seeing pondhopper and Manolo (and idahoswede if her ankle is better) at the V&A on Sunday, and doing a lot of tidying up tomorrow.
Meanwhile, here is a nice picture of some trees in Paris - lots of streets were lined with paulownia (foxglove) trees, in bloom. I've not seen them often in England, except as small shrubs grown for foliage, but the climate seems a bit softer in Paris. The flowers, which are a lot like foxgloves, but a paler mauve, come out before the leaves.
