ARTHUR OR MARTHA

I hardly get to post with the computer playing up all the time. It doesn't know whether it is Arthur or Martha (that is what Lynettea says), but computers aren't alive, are they? it is just flickering lights and metal. Although something warm definitely lives inside the box, which is why it is so comforting to drape over in cold weather.

We are getting some new equipment in the post from Telstra: a new modem and a new T-hub. Maybe that will fix it up.

Lynettea says she is getting to be a nervous wreck and I am finding it difficult to keep her calm. Sometimes when I try to calm her by sitting on her lap she just pushes me off, so I go to sleep on my little special wool rug instead. Maybe I can calm her from my world of dreams ...

I haven't even been able to jot down any new haiku and we haven't seen the moon for a while. I hope it is still there.
