State of The Press...

When I wrote last month that it was "time for a break", I couldn't have known how prophetic that statement was... that very same day Rachel fell down the stairs at work, breaking a small bone in her wrist. Just days before we moved!

She has 'heroically' returned to work (although her wrist will be in plaster for another four weeks), but the whole unpacking malarky has been slowed as we now, pretty much, rely 100% on the good graces of her parents (who, of course, have their own lives) to help us move boxes, redecorate, move wires etc!

So, we are in... and my beloved gamesroom is slowly taking shape... but, with so many packing boxes around, the house still resembles the warehouse from the end of Raiders of The Lost Ark!

However, the biggest hic-cup is out of our hands. The Internet connection to our house still isn't up and running (a month since we went 'offline'), thanks to combined tardiness of British Telecom and AOL.

The latest information I got from AOL, yesterday, was that normal service would be resumed on the evening of Monday, April 14... fingers crossed... HeroPress could be back in full effect next week.

In the meantime I am using our local library - where we get an hour's free net useage a day - to check messages etc and, as I found a machine today that ran faster than a ZX81, thought I should update you all on what's happening with the site (such as the backlog of reviews I have to post up... new Doctor Who... woo-hoo!).
