Ann, thank you so much for remembering me!
My old computer broke down beyond repair back in April and what with having to pay all of Dad's bills as well as my own, I just couldn't afford a new one.
I don't want to sound mercenary, but the money from Dad's will came through recently, so I now have a spanking new Chromebook. I'm still experimenting with it, but it's very good so far.
I didn't want to come on here so near my birthday, as I thought it would look like I was 'hinting' at a reminder. There are a few people on here whose hearts will have sunk like a lead balloon on seeing my return!
Mamya, I thought about you on Sept 22nd, but didn't have the computer then, so couldn't play you a song.
I have noticed a few new names and many of the old ones. It's amazing what a difference 6 months makes.
Anyway, many thanks to all for their kind wishes. I will 'speak' to you all very soon! Sir Alec XXX
