Off-line

Oh yes, before I go back to bed, I ought to mention something. Telkom (the national telephone company - and yes, we only have one!) will only be able to connect our new phone line towards the end of the week. We haven't ordered broadband yet, but when we do (hopefully we'll get around to that this month) it apparently takes about a fortnight to get Telkom to connect you. In the meantime, we'll have to use dial-up, which (as any of you who have broadband will know) is like going back to the stone age (plus is incredibly expensive), so I seriously doubt I'm going to have the patience (or cash) to blog using dial-up. So, the nett result of all this is that we're probably going to be 'off-line' for a few weeks. Email will still be up and running, although our replies will probably be rather short.
