No Internet, no email

Due to the fact that we live in the only three streets in Neutraubling where optic fibre cables were installed 10 years ago (when this still was thought to be the way to go), we haven't been able to get a broadband, or in fact, any kind of internet connection. We'll probably need to go for broadband via satellite, not terribly fast (up to 2 Mbit) but to compensate for that also quite expensive!

So, at least for a little while longer, until all this has been sorted out, we are offline at home, at least as far as emailing and such goes. I have access in the office, and will forward (print out, poor trees) any emails and take them home, post any blog items written offline (hence the flurry today), and so forth. So, please be warned and be patient, any responses to your missives (and please do write) might take a little while.
