Offline isn't a good feeling

For the last few days I've been completely cut off from the outside world due to a phone line problem. We think a couple of cats or possums may have had a fight under the house and pulled the phone cable. I feel like I've had withdrawal symptoms but now I'm back I feel so much more relaxed.

I actually thought I'd be offline for a few more days after the phone company engineer told me he was going to have to get up into the ceiling and under the house, and he was a beefy sort of guy and the gaps aren't that spacious.

In the end he was able to switch a couple of the spare wires into use and after only an hour I was back online, just wish my inbox didn't welcome me with four days of 'you know what'!
