I've had no bloody internet connection for several days. A nice Portuguese man has just been and reconnected me.
See you tomorrow!

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 46 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live in an ancient cottage, in a tiny village, in perfectly tranquil countryside. We have a vegetable garden called 'Haddock's' (this may crop up from time to time), plenty of fruit trees, and a view that takes the breath away; we also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
So you are alive.Many were worried here in blogland.
ReplyDeleteI've been very worried too!
DeleteGoodness - you had me scared for a minute there. Nice to see you back it's been too long.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like weeks.
DeleteTake my phone, take my tv, hell, take my car,but leave me my internet.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
DeleteHurrah !!!! It's not like you to miss a day Cro ……. it just shows how much we rely on the internet now, doesn't it ?
ReplyDeleteGlad it was lost internet connection and nothing else. XXXX
I began to see it as an addiction; cold turkey laptop style.
DeleteI couldn't access your spelling post. It said, sorry, the post you're looking for does not exist.
ReplyDeleteI was worried about you, I so enjoy reading your blog each morning. Glad you are OK.
ReplyDeletePhew! You had me worrying about you there! And I don't even know you - isn't the internet a weird and wonderful place?!
ReplyDeleteI had a Nutella sandwich and went back to sleep.
ReplyDeleteWe become very attached to our internet friends, especially a lovely gentleman in France who shares his everyday life. It doesn't hurt that he has two wonderful dogs too.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is so frustrating when suddenly all our internet blogging friends disappear into the ether.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you've been unable to connect to da Interwebz. I felt a bit adrift myself when I had no connexion back in early November.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness!
ReplyDeleteI had started to wonder about you! It's rare for you to miss a day. Glad it was nothing serious!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. We thought you'd been taken by a land dwelling shark.
ReplyDeleteHow very kind you all are; thank you.
