iPhones are slippery little devils


Stadtpark on Friday

Rozalin has worked her magic and the microwave men turned up yesterday morning to examine the problem. There are always two to do these sorts of things – and sometimes if it is a particularly difficult problem they send three.

They were – somewhat to my embarrassment – able to find a model number without dismembering the kitchen - so took a photo and have gone off to do whatever they do next. I am not expecting quick results but my glass pot stand works just fine so I am not in a hurry.

My next problem is Billy’ electrical fault but Rozalin is hot on the trail of that one and I will be able to go to Mercedes next week and get it fixed.

The snow has finally left us and I think that should be the last of it. I must admit that this winter has seemed particularly long and dark and I will not be unhappy to see Spring arrive.

With a bit of luck we may get some in Rome on the weekend.

Cate is back in Johannesburg after her weekend trip – but we are communicating only by email because her BlackBerry is not working and she lost her iPhone.

I would tell you how many iPhones she has lost – but it would embarrass her. She just cannot keep hold of the slippery little devils.

Happy Birthday Possum


It’s Cate’s birthday today but she had decided to celebrate it with one of her (female) work colleagues in Cape Town.

So she sent me this picture to let me know that she is alive and well.

But we will celebrate next weekend in Rome.

Happy Birthday Possum.

Big snow

We have had our heaviest snow so far this winter - and indeed since we arrived in Vienna.
