Today

As you've probably guessed (due to the lateness of posts and lack of photos (which takes something away from the idea of a photo diary)) my computer is still sick. Windows has been reloaded but none of the drivers are working and it's not detecting network stuff - but I'm still working on it and have someone on the job. I had mandarin classes again today. I am shocking! I just don't get it! Apart from the fact that some of the pronunciation sounds don't exist in English, there is actually no correlation between English and Chinese words or characters. None!
Today I also found out my granma died last night which, was a bit of a bummer but not unexpected. At least I know she's happy.
On a brighter note, have you ever 'googled' yourself? Well, I (ashamedly) out of boredom did and the first link actually was me. I was totally surprised. It was a link to a friends blog who had written a lovely entry about me on my birthday. (Some would say it was about time, but I, obviously, remain suitably modest about it.)
(Also, I sorted the comments problem for those of you that were having trouble with posting, so it should work fine now.)
Take care x

Just testing to see if the comments work now.
Feel better.
Hope the puter feels better soon too.
Your gran was an amazing woman, one of those characters God sends us to brighten our own mundane lives. She was an amazingly loving and caring woman and now she has got her reward.
