"HERE'S ONE I MADE EARLIER..."

When you are reading this, we will be airborne on our way to Kalymnos in Greece...

Now the trouble with blogging is that it requires internet connection and, whenever I travel nowadays, I seem to expend an awful lot of anxiety worrying that I may not be able to get on-line to collect my e-mails (which is odd, because, years ago, I never used to think twice about the fact that post would be lying unread on the doormat while I was away) and so be able to approve blog-comments from my regulars...

Therefore, dear reader, if there is any delay, you'll know what to put it down to and, to be honest, I'm not overwhelmingly hopeful especially since I have a strong memory of the sign attached to the computers in interactive section of the Greek Pavilion at the Venice Biennale...

Have a wonderful time! Relax, and don't worry about a thing (especially not connecting to the internet -- we'll still be here when you return).

It's like mobile phones! The way most people jump on them as soon as they ring. A few years ago, our phones would ring at home over and over again and if we weren't home, we never knew they'd rung! How did we manage?
Anyway, don't forget you're supposed to be on Holiday! So make the most of it and have a lovely time!

ZITO! (As they say in Greece) Able to get on line but have to do the most extraordinarily complex internet maneuvers to send mail, so a warning to friends - don't expect to hear too often. Sharon (if you're reading this) no point in sending anything here it wold never arrive before we left!!!

So there's no point in sending you a saucy postcard, then!

I should imagine it's the same for all of us, logging on remotely. It's not possible to reply to Emails directly from your Mailbox. You've got to log on via your Service Provider's Home Page, or a site like Emailanywhere.com and send messages out from there
