Alleluia !! I'm 'connected ' again, having moved to another 'server'...phew, I can breathe again ...ha ha ha !!!

It's been an anxious time changing Internet Servers, from Talk Talk to o2 - several very confused days, due to mysterious new passwords, etc., for wi-fi router, on iphone and in laptops - it's not quite "all Greek to me ", but very close..hmmm... so now I have all my favourites restored and feel safe and secure in being able to contact all my lovely 'breathers' again...what I really admire is that the various advisers from the numerous companies have some sort of 'sixth sense' re telecommunications lingo and procedures - they can't actually see the screen I'm using, and my knowledge of IT technical terms is nil! Have you tried to explain that little 'whizzing' coloured circle - called the 'egg timer' which comes in a variety of colours and shapes..?? I usually end up in fits of laughter when describing them ..!! Luckily all the brilliant IT experts have a sense of humour... I've been in touch with a 'plethora of persons' around the world - and with o2 even in the U.K.!! So, with baggy, saggy eyes from hours of screen watching, I'd like to thank Magarida and Ana Maria in Portugal, Arjun and Guru Gerry @ 02 in Hemel Hempstead, Herts., Maurice - Manchester, Sharlene and Nick - London, Ellen - Stockholm, Stephen - Glasgow, Mike and Kiera - Ireland, and several in India and South Africa - to mention but a few...At the weekend I'll go to Oxford to hear the 'first' of my fabulous Swedish Breathers, the one and only Anna Larsson, contralto extraordinaire, recently successfully making her debut at The Royal Opera, London, as 'The Principessa' in 'Suor Angelica'...now for another facet of her limitless talents, a recital at The Holywell Music Rooms in Oxford, accompanied by the delightful, and ever impressive Matti Hirvonen, piano, 20.00 Sat. 22nd. Oct. 2011 ... mmmm..looking forward to this 'gem' of a performance ... so Dear Readers, keep warm....and most importantly ..k..p b.......g ...
