Across the pond

……before the big move to Dorset and our flat around the corner.

And there is so much still to do that I am beginning to panic. How I am going to find time to write a blog over the next few days I know not. It is not only the moving. It is the logistics of connecting to the web. On my previous visits to Charmouth I was unable to find anywhere to make a wireless connection, so to post from Dorset I have to drive into Lyme Regis to one of the pubs there. And, although BT will connect my telephone next Wednesday it will be at least another two or three days before they connect me to broadband. And past experience leads me to fear that getting it working efficiently may take a little time. Not least the time taken in reconfiguring my computer to an entirely different system.

Meanwhile, although I have only written ten blogs in the whole of July I appear to be getting some new readers. For the last two days the number of unique visits according to 1&1 has topped the thousand mark and it looks as if the average for July will be about 900.

I shall also be spending some of my time trying to help those of my colleagues in the fight to save the swimming pool at City University. But I don’t know how long it will be before I have time to do a blog about the issues around that.
