I have not been blogging much this week, which is not to say that I have not been using my computer, or at least I have been trying to, for it seems to have taken on a mind of it’s own.

Now the piece that I was writing was a little unusual, in that I was mixing various fonts, spacings, colours etc. but I didn’t expect to see the words ‘zipping’ all over the page, with some being deleted and whole paragraphs being totally rearranged.

I know I thought .. I’ll ‘phone the help-line… and guess what ? … I pushed the buttons on my expensive .. ”all whistles and bells” .. ’Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications’ super ‘phone only to discover that it …
… had decided to take the bloody day off !

My first choice is still the old fashioned land line telephone which makes life easy to live for me. I also use a Mac after much frustration with Windows. Mac has never ever collapsed on me!
