Week plus from hell
Just a quick update to let you all know that no, I haven't disappeared off the face of the earth, but my computer did. The day before I went on vacation (the 17th) I was having some connectivity problems with my computer. The vacation (long separate post coming when I get the chance) had its ups and downs, but on the morning we were to fly back to Sydney we got to the airport at Coolangatta and were told that the flight was cancelled due to engineering problems. Now I am not fond of flying at the best of times but I would much rather not fly in a plane with problems. So okay. But then we were told we were being bussed to Brisbane and put on a flight to Sydney from there. Problem? The flight gets into Sydney at 12.30. Our connecting train? Leaves Sydney at 12.00 (it's a daily service). Then the airline doesn't do a thing to help so we're stranded in Sydney on December 23rd. Luckily we managed to get hotel rooms. So I get back home on Christmas Eve and I try to log onto the internet. It doesn't work. Again. I keep trying and I try to call my ISP (no joy). I let it go (it's Christmas, I don't expect to see them there on Christmas Day or Boxing Day). I call this morning and am told that the receipt wasn't sent to them. Luckily I had the receipt in my hand but gah.
So to all I owe tags, email, etc to, I'll get to that asap - am going to be doing some major catching up today.
Hope everyone who celebrates had a great Christmas - I actually did have a good one even with all the issues.
And I am so, so glad to be back.
A special apology to my yuletide author - I am going there immediately to read and gush.
