My parents dropped round their broadband router this morning, so we could test if it was our hardware at fault before BT came out, declared that it was and charged us a fortune for daring to question the brilliance of their telephone network.

I plugged it in and it appeared to be working OK, so I reasoned that it must be our router (which is recently out of warranty, of course) at fault. I plugged ours back in and wondered if any of its settings could be corrupt or anything – then noticed it had connected and we were online. Rather strange, but I’m not complaining – at least not until it happens again.

So the web site is back, to the delight of the zero to two visitors it typically gets of an evening. Hurrah. (If you find it’s down again any time soon, this problem has probably come back – sorry.)

*Oh dear, you know I’ve gone too far when more readers are likely to be confused by an apparently rogue ‘or’ than to have ever heard of the Love song title on which this is an appalling pun. Sorry.
