Monday 13 September 2010: Internet access was patchy for my first few days here and then improved a little. Now it seems to have given up the ghost both at work and at home where I am using a mobile internet connection. In the office, I am told the engineers say the problem is due to our using a number of different and old machines and that they are full of viruses. I am not totally convinced by this myself because I get the same sort of ‘non-response’ behaviour both at home and at work and these are different types of connection. But there is not a lot I can do about it but pile up this blog until something happens – there might just be a big post coming from home in a couple of weeks!
As if in compensation, one TV channel is almost watchable tonight and so I saw the news and now have in the background the most excruciating, old, dubbed drama which was originally in Spanish.
Of passing interest (but only to people in the office): I have just heard a mention on the news of the women’s conference of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association which was in Nigeria this weekend. The CPA does not normally make the news in the UK!
