Huzzah!

Well, it took 'em almost 5 months in total, but I finally have a telephone line and ADSL!

I received a call on my mobile yesterday afternoon at 15:00 from the engineer, saying that he had fixed the ADSL. Apparently he had been there since 9:00 in the morning trying to fix it. Whoever had been appointed to switch my line on in the first place had botched the job up so much, that this engineer was a little surprised that I actually had a phone line at all!

I celebrated this fact by sitting on Slaygon's sofa and carrying on working, not wanting to come home and find that said engineer was actually lying -- not that he would want to, just that I have become cynical about this whole sorry situation. But as soon as I finally plucked up the courage to come back here (about 18:00), I found that he was in fact telling the truth, and I celebrated by broadcasting an impromptu show on SLAY Radio!

So I'm sitting here in my robe, looking out of my own window and noticing that it's snowing here in Gothenburg again. I have to visit Slaygon's flat with by backpack, to bring my laptop back... but I think it can wait a few hours!
