I apologise for the non-appearance of Australia Calling these past two weeks, but I have a major technical problem.
When the flooding began in Queensland a branch fell off a tree and took down the telephone line to the bunker.
That was fixed last Friday, but then we discovered that although the land line worked there was no longer an ADSL connection. It seems that the farkwits at Telstra deleted my account from the system while the line was down. I am still waiting for that to be resolved. Unless or until that happens, I cannot do much.
