NOT SO EASY DOES IT

Well, as feared - if not predicted - accessing the internet, collecting mail and approving comments to the blog has proved - how can I put it? - not entirely straightforward.

If your remarks and observations take a little time to find their way into print, be patient: it takes time for the lad in sandles, short skirt and laurel wreath to carry the instructions from Kalymnos to Blogland!

And if I don't reply with the usual courtesy and efficiency that readers have come to expect, it's just because, if push comes to shove, grappling with internet technology doesn't quite compete with sitting on the beach eating watermelon!
