All is wonky






Wonky1 - since yesterday morning my Internet is acting up big time.
During the afternoon and evening I had none.
I tried to reinstall my air-card, helped last time (My Internet shows up as connected, but my browser is on strike).
Hubby’s didn’t work last night either, which eased my pain a bit ;).
In the news last night we then heard that a deep-sea cable got severed in India.
I take a wild guess that that is affecting us a bit?
I don’t know.
Update: After reading the article, it did / does affect us and it was two cables.

And just in case you don’t understand why this irritates me a bit with the combination of melting ice at the North Pole, you might want to read Frank Schaetzing. Up to a few months ago his books were only available in German, but the one I’m talking about is available in English now as well :)
It’s worth it. It paints a very near and very possible and very scary future.



(I’m not sure you can get it via Amazon though)

I just squeeze in this post, or try to and if you don’t hear much from me in the next few days, you know why :(.

Wonky 2 - I seem to be getting sick. Once again.
I swear, I have not been sick that often since being a teenager.
It started with a sore throat in the early morning.
After meeting the Kuwaiti Lady and having a great walk and chat with her, I came home, tried my Internet in vain and went straight to bed.
Fot 4 hours!
Waking up, my sore throat got slightly worse and I knew that I’m coming down with what we call “Angina” in German.
Hubby doesn’t know that term, so I guess you guys call it something different.

Cleaned the house & went to the Pharmacy.
Did you know that the Pharmacists seem to be better Doctors sometimes?
Anyhow, I explained to him what ails me and he gave me the right stuff (Angina-something and some of those soothing tablets).
It seems to be getting better already, but that might be a trick only.
I know fro my teenage years (I had that once a year), that it usually knocks me out with no appetite and a very sore throat,
plus all kinds of other stomach issues which I don’t want to describe in detail ;)
Let’s hope that will not be the case this time.

After all the weather is nice and I finally wanted to get out a bit in the next few days.

We shall see.


Update2: My google reader is out of whack (so are my google ads).
Seems the google server got a little hit as well with those severed cables.
Email and everything else works, but no reader for me, imho, I gotta manually snailcheck your blogs, which means, it will take forever. Sigh……!
