Gremlins

Blogger has always been a recalcitrant blogging package and I've put up with it because it's free.

There is currently a problem with the formatting on my blog that I cannot fix. If you read the blog on a phone you won't be aware of it. If you read it on an iPad it will look horribly skewed to one side, and if you read it on a laptop/desktop, the header will be skewiff.

I have no idea how to fix it, and my main techie man - Isaac - is on holiday. Update: I've fixed it myself!

Another peculiar tech glitch this week is that one of the reviews for my book on Amazon has mysteriously disappeared.

Added to that, a friend has been told by Amazon that they are not accepting reviews on this product (my book) from his account. What?????  He has emailed to ask them why not.

And now I remember that in May, a blog reader, Kristine, was told by Amazon she could not post a review.

Life is hard enough for the ancient author. It would be much easier to surrender forever and become a little old lady pottering around her garden watering her agapanthus, and sitting in her blue adirondack chair with a nice cup of tea and a book.

You know what I'll be doing, though, don't you?

The Wonkiness was not noticeable until you mentioned it - these things happen - Facebook lost all its photos for most of the day recently worldwide - most frustrating. Your photos are as usual lovely and evocative. Jealous of you having an accessible flat place to cycle in such a splendid location. We have a canal nearby but its seriously uphill home which is one reason why I haven't cycled for a couple of years and at almost 65, I wonder if I ever will again. Jenetta

Hi Jenetta, thank you for the encouragement. I have miraculously fixed the problem now.
I urge you to go on the canal path and walk up the hill home. One day you'll be fit enough to cycle up it, but you won't if you give up now. xx
