Those of you who are kind enough to check in occasionally will have noticed my absence for the last week or so. Those of you living in the Orne will probably remember the thunder and lightning of last Tuesday. The two things are connected.
Lessons I need to learn (actually have learned- it’s too expensive not to!) – in a thunderstorm: one, turn off the computer, completely and quickly, and two, unplug the telephone.
Yes, I know. I should have been aware of this. Well, I was, sort of, but we’d never had a storm like it before or one that came on so quickly. If the meteo is correct, there are more storms forecast, so, please, take warning from my ‘mishap’.
The modem suffered fatal damage. Thanks to my provider, a new one arrived two days later but, when we connected it up, we realised that the computer was also damaged.
By this time, it was already late on Friday and, when I called the technician, he said he couldn’t come out until Wednesday afternoon!
All is now well. In fact, the computer hasn’t run so smoothly for ages, so something good came out of the event.
I’m still trying to catch up and hope to be back to posting regularly soon.
