ANNOUNCEMENT

Sorry I have been so quiet this week, readers.....it is not neglect on my part.....quite simply my main computer at home is out of action until I get assistance so I am typing up this message via tablet in the local lbrary.....what with free wi fi and all that malarkey.




I am still able to use my image program at home but at the time of writing I cannot add images onto the net....not like I prefer to anyway.......



Normal service will resume as soon as is possible. Thank you for tuning in....the ratings have been pretty good




Keep em peeled....Rob
