No good reason.
My internet access has been patchy recently. Once the ISP just stopped providing internet service, but usually it just slows down to the point of timing out. It is stymieing some of my vacation plans. Fortunately it hasn’t happened during a transaction involving money yet. Combined with the current style of accommodation website - which offers shiny inducements on the front page but doesn't provide price information until you have started the booking process - my information superbikeway means I don't get to find out what their special offer actually is, let alone book it. Sometimes I find out there are no rooms available before I find out how much it would have cost me. Once I was asked for my credit card details before they would tell me their price. But mostly the loading icon comes to a halt over a blank page, or a mostly blank page, or the page I have just left but without the information I have just entered, or a browser error, or it doesn't come to a halt; and then I go and do something else.
First, second, third; in that order.
1. Emma-Jean has been on a scholarship in China for three weeks. She comes back tomorrow, which is super.
2. Stone Age is a good game, but it can only have up to four players.
3. I have to work on Saturday.
