Accident

The dictionary definiton of the word 'Accident' is 'An unplanned interruption to a planned sequence of events'. And that is how I would be tempted to describe the last ten days or so of my carfefully disorganised and impractical way of being a writer. I will explain. My laptop went belly-up on me; I could only use it with the mains plugged in. I bought a new battery and fitted it, but no change, so it was off to PC World and the purchase of a new Laptop. I had to wait three days for the store to set it up, which meant not even being able to limp along with my old one. It was like losing an arm. I do have a desktop in the back room, which I rarely use, but none of my work is updated on it, which renders it impractical. Once I had my new one to hand, things became frustratingly difficult because most of my saved bookmarks (which I copied from my old laptop), were not recognised by my new one. To cut a long story short; it has taken several emails to 'Support@whichever website is not working' and putting up with the frustration of going round in circles. BUT! I am just about there, which is why I'm posting this short update. Oh, and I can only access the Wix.com link by using an ingocnito browers. Rich, ain't it?
