I'm just back from the theatre in Williamson Park. ( Spoilers ahead... )

Sorry for the silence - I've got connectivity issues again. I think that my DSL line went down on Monday evening. I say 'think' because I didn't actually have my laptop at home then to check. I'd taken it into work for a meeting and then left it in the meeting room. Silly me.

So when I got it back home last night I opened it up and discovered that the DSL had gone. Of course I found this just after the helpline closed on the day before a national holiday (one of Iceland's two Independence Days). Bah. So no helpline until tomorrow morning.

Still, as is usual for these mid-week days off I've managed to be pretty productive - tidying, lunch and a natter with B, calligraphy, a couple of loads of washing and a completed embroidered card. I had planned to change a light bulb in the car but don't have the right size tool; I have instead identified this as a problem and can go into town tomorrow to acquire the right sized tool and continue from there.

I still want to get the last of the calligraphy out of the way today so that I've just got the illumination to do, then I'll be happy with the day's progress.
