Am still without my net, and apparently a rogue electric fence is the culprit. The eircom repair guy phoned me in work, saying that he was phoning from my line, and that the problem must be with my pc cables. I told him that could'nt be the case as my neighbours, on both sides are having the same problems, and luckily for me, halfway through a veiled threat that next time I would be billed for a false call out, the line crackled and went dead! I hope they won't try to pass the buck. At the moment, I am using joe's laptop, with my neighbour carol' vodafone wireless modem. Otherrwise by now, I would be well and truly going up the walls.

I got an email from georgina hambleton, whose book on christy brown I loved. We are now in contact via email, and thankfully she is currently working on a follow up book based on christy' personal letters. The man was a genius, trapped for so long in a beat up physical body, which unfortunately in the ireland of his time, people taught was indicative of what was upstairs. The fact that he typed, painstakingly and with excellent grammar, will give me more motivation, to keep on stabbing at my keyboard, even though I am so slow, and seem to spend most of my time correcting spelling mistakes, and poor grammar, being the grammar snob that I am.

Am delighted to say, that I started back "swimming" on sunday in celbridge. It felt so good to be in the water again, and I could literally hear the wound up tense leg muscles, release some of their tension. Have van, will travel, is my new mantra, and its great to be able to get out and about.

Off to italy in three weeks.I found a guy who organizes wheelchair accessible tours. Its a country I've always wanted to see,and for sure I will do a full report on it.
