Long time

Hi, I've been away. I first went to Switzerland to stay with my penfriend of 54 years. She is actually German but her husband also German did hs PHD at Berne Uni then got a job and stayed in Switzerland where they've been for 40 years. It was really lovely but very expensive. Still not recovered from the shock!! Came home to find my modem was caput so had to wait for anew one which they sent without the necessary CD so had to wait for that, then computer decided to be awkward. However all seems well now except I can't hear my real player and listen to BBC7 whilst I write and I've no idea why.This is a severe handicap. I shall see if It works in the week.
Then Random jottings stayed on her way to Turkey. I minded her car for a week and my cousins'car for 2 weeks whilst they were in Santorini. random came back last Monday and Cousins on Thursday now neighbours are using the pitch.
Have read some books but I'll blog about them tomorrow.Last evening I heard Don Carlos on BBC3 from Covent Garden. It was amazing. Random was actually there yesterday pm so I'll be interested to read her blog about it.
I won't write more today because I'm feeling a bit down. I suffer from bi polar but mainly depression and it just hits out of the blue. I think today it's triggered by not hearing from my son who lives in HongKong. He says phone him but he's never there.By about 1400hrs I'll be ok and I'll come back perhaps if not I'll be with you tomorrow and write about the books I've been reading.
