Well I've just done one of the silliest things ever by putting my phone in the washing machine! It's really not a happy moby at the moment, and is at the moment dismantled and drying out in the kitchen. I'm hoping that it will dry out and come right... we'll see. I googled 'mobile phone washing maching' and discovered I'm not the only one. Many of these people (including someone with my model) saw a success after a few hours so who knows..
On a brighter technology note, broadband is working, wireless is working, have managed to video conference with Fiona and John and Skype as well. It's all good!
Weather is still gorgeous in London. Went down to a friend's place in Hither Green for lunch yesterday and stayed in the garden, complete with lanterns, until just before the last train. Lovely! Am just about to go for lunch in Islington now.

very wireless...
So I've had a bit of a saga with the whole broadband thing. The current situation is that I'm online at the moment on my Mac, but, er, I don't think it's my broadband! That's the thing with wireless! Oh well, it will do me for today!
This has given me a nice chance though to get loads of stuff set up on my computer - At the moment I'm querying GraceNotes (the system where you get song names and details) to get information on all my music - and that's a lot of music! So that will be great to find out just what I've been listening to.
Hopefully "my" broadband will be sorted out later this week and I can stop feeling guilty about hijacking someone else's!

cold!
While we swelter here in London (36 degrees yesterday) I thought I'd post a photo Mum sent me last month of the house following the 'snow bomb'. Picturesque!

rough!
I've just volunteered to take part in Byte Night, fundraising for homeless or at risk people. It involves spending the night sleeping under the stars beside the Houses of Parliament. I really like my bed, so this is not going to be a comfortable night! It promises to be lots of fun though with food, drink and a quiz before we settle down for the night.
Our team (there's five of us) have to raise £5000 to take part, so we'll be doing lots of fund raising over the next couple of months. We've set up a fund raising website, so please donate through this route. Alternatively, we've got quite a few different ideas to raise money, including bake sales and quiz nights so those of you in London may be roped in for these.
