We've finally got Broadband.
Months and months of trying and countless applications through numerous providers and today I can finally celebrate a turning point in blogging.
It's a small step forward because it means I can now start to visit more blogs. In the past I've been accessing your blogs using dialup and due to its lack of speed have been unable to visit very many. Most of the pics that you want to show take an aeon to download and it hogs all my commenting time waiting for your pages to load.
But now I have no excuse. I'll be on your doorstep more often and enjoying more of your awesome articles.

You have done amazingly well, Stuart, if you have only been on dial-up all this time.
Oh dear, you will find broadband such an improvement, and your blogging world will expand so much, that you may not have time to go to work. Should we start passing the hat around for a collection for you now?
I hope you and your family have a wonderful 2007.

Oh Stuart--we just got broadband over the summer and I was amazed at how much faster everything got done--and how much more pleasant it was reading everyone's blogs without having to wait an eternity for them to load!
Congrats, and happy surfing :-)

Cheers Alice.
It's like mowing your lawn with a powered mower when you've been using scissors to cut each blade. I'm so glad we have finally got it.
The collection would be lovely. I could easily retire and just blog all day.

I'm so happy for you Stuart! So, I can expect to see you around a lot more often, eh? Good! It's hard to believe what you've accomplished with dial-up. As you know we just got our DSL in August and it's like a breath of fresh air...heavenly! I like your comparison to mowing the lawn :)
So, I'd better contact Alice to make a contribution. :)
Happy New Year to you and your family. I hope the year overflows with blessings....joy and good health especially!
