Tonight at Almost Acoustic, the Fagans + Kate Fagan did a lovely version of "The Briar and the Rose".

Yes, that is the same JW, breezy, but I'm afraid there aren't any trips to the UK planned for the near future - too expensive to think about at the moment.

Actually I'm on John's computer right now, because mine had some sort of heart attack. Everything froze and it wouldn't even turn off. When I spoke to my son, he said I'd have to pull the plug as a last resort. The computer is not very old and has all sorts of safeguards to recover from such drastic action. So I did, but it wouldn't turn on again.

The power supply was okay, and my hard drive is okay. Most likely cause, one of his work colleagues seemed to think, was some sort of virus/trojan that has hit the motherboard, and now George is putting another one in. All will be well soon. He says he has it working and I'll have it back in the next couple of days.

We are probably getting broadband very soon, so we will both be connected. He seems very interested in Mudcat, so I think there will soon be two mudcatters in this household.
