A post from Far Away

[desperance]

Am in the hot and steamy south, with all the windows open.

I have wifi, which I am determined not to use. QED.

I am not going to read my friends list; I have novels to read. And reading-glasses to read them with, for I am old.

I am most particularly not going to haunt my catsitters' LJs for any stray mention of the cats. That would be stalkerly behaviour, and I do not do that. Oh no.

I am genuinely and actually not going to be checking my e-mail, because I cannot remember the complicated URL I need for webmail access. My real life will be a blank to me for weeks'n'weeks. My Sooper-Seekrit Plan is that I will get a lot of work done in this interstice. Reality? Pfui. We snigger at reality, and commit humiliations upon it. I have already thought of the beginning to yet another story, tho' determined actually to finish some of those I've already started, tho' I was more properly hoping to advance the novel briskly...

Whatever. I shall write an opening paragraph, and then go for a walk. And buy coffee. I have been in this house for about twelve hours, mostly sleeping, and I have already drunk them out of coffee. *twitches*

Also, I just spotted a Mac-hair caught in my mini-mouse. Aww...

Enjoy!

Get lots of work done!

I'll have more news to share when you return.

They kitties, they are fine. They have not escaped, nor burnt down the house, nor clawed us to bits.

Mac and I have had a Serious Talk about etiquette involved in taking scraps from the hand: jaws only, no claws.

I use www.mail2web.com ... I've used them for years and have had no problems with them sending me spam or passing my details on to anyone else ... and they are free.

Whether you'll be able to remember enough details about your email account to be able to use it, I can't say, but it works for me (and I use them to check my email on my phone as well, using the phone's web browser)

Ah, reading glasses. I have just ordered my first pair. Normally I take my usual glasses off and peer at the page...(is old too) XD
