My internet connection suddenly stopped working on Monday. I checked the wires, the modem - all fine. Our new sub-teacher brought his laptop over and it works fine on his. I can only assume that the ethernet port is faulty as it doesn't register the presence of a cable when a cable is plugged in.

I was musing to myself a few days before this happened that I was spending too much time on the internet and should do other, more productive things. I had not intended this. Quite worrying how much I rely on the internet for my day to day life.

So I figure I have two choices. Go to the Mac store in Ginza - 5 hours and ￥6000 away,plus however much repairs cost. Or, I buy an Airpost Base Station and use my wireless to connect until the next time I'm in Tokyo. A base station costs ￥11800, which is cheaper than the bus, hostel, repair costs etc, but I've not read good things about the longevity of it.

Any advice?

Plus, my knee hurts. Five months after I twisted it snowboarding it hurts. I'm assuming this is a reaction to the cycling I've been doing lately.

It's my birthday on Sunday. Clearly the stars are misaligned.

Happy Birthday, my deliciousness,

Thinking of you today.

(My present is going to be quite late I feel...some reason thought today was more towards the middle of the month.)

Lots of big Tom love and hugs.

Hope you've had a nice day. Well a quick update, I'm expecting child no. 2 in October, another girl! Hannah has shot up and now measures at 101 cm (or 20 meters tall, at least thats what she tells everyone!). Hannah and i will be in the UK for two weeks in August. Have finally finished the new office and am starting on the girls room. Clive has his first Jazz gig, his band is called "Orange Lounge". he should be back soon so I'm hoping it went ok.
Little Amy (child no.2) is hungry so I shall go and eat something before I pass out.
Always thinking of you, happy birthday, Love you,
Jo, Clive, Hannah and Amy bump
xxxxx.
