Oh do get on with it

It has been quite a trying week. The computer has been having persistently intermittent attacks of inability to locate the server, thus disrupting trains of thought, producing writing that is even less coherent than normal, giving time only for posting the shortest of bits & bobs on the blog.

Strange how, not all that long ago, one would just write around missing quotes, facts or references, keeping a list of points to check next time one was in the appropriate library with time to locate the relevant page in the relevant volume on the relevant shelf - & not much longer before that when one would have located the relevant spot after riffling through drawers full of index cards.

Now Google takes 3 minutes rather than 0.3 of a second to find what I am looking for & I cease to function
