My Annual Computer Crash

Every year, at about this time, my elderly computer crashes, with the loss of files, programmes, and, in the latest one, about 1,000 emails.

So, if you've emailed me in the last week, would you please re-send?  Same address as always.

(And if you could also send me a new computer, that would be very welcome: I shall have to dip into the wallet, I fear - it's taken me nearly two days and a good deal of one night to recover, to the extent I have, and I shall have to accept that the old bucket, and the wretched Vista Home Basic, are trying to tell me something.

Remembering the fire that destroyed Puckaster Close, just yards from here.
