Living the high life.

Sometimes life here can veer towards the hectic and bizarre.  My beloved daughter Bruce is about to enter her last year as a teenager, next week in fact. She asked if we could do something to celebrate, as a family, What a great idea, we all agreed. She suggested a family lunch, lovely,  we thought,  Then she announced it should be near our other house in Brittany.

So off we went on the  ferry and a jolly good time was had overall. Bruce proved the very interesting fact that you can eat ice cream with chopsticks. Then of course it was home.

Now I don't think I have mentioned internet use before, it's a bit of a hot issue in the house. Normally everything goes along OK then occasionally we have huge download spikes. These are nothing at all to do with anything anyone does online, everyone is Innocent.

So fresh off the ferry, my inbox contained a couple of warnings about limited download, rather than risk the usual protests  of innocence I simply let it all go.

We had been home but a few hours and a chorus of complaint that the net was not working broke out. So anyway i left it a whole week, working on the thesis that those experiencing the most pain would be the most guilty. At midnight on 1st April the net reset itself. I wonder if people will be that little bit more measured in their use of the web this month?
