The darkness
I’m lack in the land of the midday moon.
I advanced the boat trip was advanced by a day at the last minute because of the weather forcast, and was quite sensible, the day before I went and the day after I went were both canceled. As it happens I got a pretty good trip.
My computer has been fried by lightning up here, so if anyone is emailing you will get a very slow response. I’m using my mother’s somewhat elderly laptop, it has a duff E key, so typing is intermitently a problem. There are bits on order, with any kind of luck, I should be back up by new yearish.
Don’t even think about texting me, the coverage is patchy up here to the point that they frequently fail to get here: if you don’t get a reply within a day, send another one, keep going until you get somthing back. Oh and there are only 2 rooms in the house that I get any reception at all, so I won’t even have the thing on me.
Other than that, all good here.

I should think myself lucky then with expensive slow data, but always a connection. Luckily my Aunt has mobile broadband about dialup speed with unlimited data, so don’t need need to use mine at £10/day. Seems that the German mobile broadband market isn’t as developed as the UK market where there is far more competition.
Yesterday I was using my cousin’s German laptop, which has the z and y keys swapped and lots of symbol keys moved around and hidden.
