A Growing Family
Author: jak (add to friends)I was just going to post a short note here to say I'll be absent for a couple of weeks as I'm off to warmer climes (except they'll probably just match the heatwave here). But now I have much more exiting news to impart.

I'll be Brief
Author: jak (add to friends)SOMETHING CREEPY has gotten into my system and is slowing everything down and won't even let me open my blogger blog. IT has turned off off my Windows Automatic Updates and won't let me turn it back on. My Kaspersky can't find IT, nor can Spybot or No Adware, although the latter programme is out of date and IT aborts every attempt to update it. So I'd better avoid the internet until I can get IT sorted. See you sometime.

It was so good I thought I’d share this tasty version of the healthy dish, cooked quickly and easily in a microwave.
