Is it a bird? Well, not exactly. <\/p>\n

Had a lot of computer trouble over the last two days – Broadband dropping out or being very, very slow. After several attempts at various things, I plugged hub and computer into different sockets, and now it seems to be fine. It’s strange what a nice feeling you get when it all works well, and how depressing it is when it goes wrong. After all, it’s only a machine. But such a nice one. <\/p>\n

In the intervals I’ve been writing a drama for Christmas, including a song, and my page for next week, all of which is now more or less finished. Today I went and saw the dental technician – an interview that lasted a maximum of two minutes – and he attempted to get the right shade for my forthcoming crown. Walked back into the city from his place (other end of Unthank Road) and then got a bus back to pick up the car. Both of which were much easier than driving home, because I made the mistake of going by the ring road, forgetting that it’s Christmas shopping time, which means Riverside is crammed constantly. Had to divert via the city centre.<\/p>\n

Came back from the dead on Monday night when I was close to resignation in my chess game against a guy I know from Diss. Played what was the only move then, after he missed the best move, was able to sacrifice a knight for some play, which turned out to be good enough to draw. Quite pleased with the last few moves. I was actually a pawn up in the end, but with opposite-colour bishops. <\/p>\n

Our Tuesday night meal \/ meeting went really well. Talked about prayer, then did it. Really nice feeling to the group.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we drive to Baldock to see Joan, then back for a PCC meeting in the evening. Weather has improved: mainly sunny and not quite so cold.<\/p>\n
