    It's a Draytek Vigor 2800VG and I've actually been coding in the office, seen the lightning, heard the thunder, and the adult educational video stream has stopped midflow, requiring a reboot and new Kleenex (but not necessarily in that order)

    It must have done it very slowly though coz there doesn't appear to be anywhere it might have gone to & the puddle is dry.
    The spiders have drunk the puddle!

    Watch out for a load of copper eating spiders!

    I was planning on going abroad next week, but that got cancelled.

    I so need to get away to the sun.
    I felt washed out and had a headache yesterday so went home early. Still felt poo today and all my joints were aching last night so I decided to take today off too... I'm trying not to think about how much I'm losing

    That was proberbly my fault. I am sure that my bad moods have an affect on the environment.

    It's like Autumn here. Leaves all over the place.

    Edit: Still, it's not as wet as last June.

    But I brought my fan heater in this morning, so it's a balmy 22 deg C in here now

    Where were you going to go? Was it for work or leisure?
