You wouldn't have had a prime to cut off, it had already been done. Up the Creek and no paddle.Oh, THERE you are!
My Internet was working at around 21:00 yesterday and then I went offline for a while to work on my puzzle game.
I have it adjusting itself to fit different screens. It does a 'best fit' calculation and scales itself up or down no matter how big or small the screen is, or what its aspect ratio is. That works fine.
I have a phone which is getting a bit old now. The game looks ok on it and plays well, so any more modern device should have no problem. Good.
Then a worrying thought struck me... What about those ugly notches and cut-outs that many modern phones have at the top of the screen? My phone doesn't have them so I use the whole screen for the game. I hadn't taken notches into account...
Time to go online and search for advice. No joy. Internet, are you there? Coo ee... It was no more. It had ceased to be. It was bereft of life; resting in peace. It was an ex-network!
I did the usual things but couldn't get it back. I only have an emergency 300 MB of data left on my phone to last me until the second week of October so I wasn't going to use that.
Oh well, time to watch another episode of Borgen on Netflix then. Hang on - no Netflix.
In that case, watch The Killing on iPlayer. Hang on - no iPlayer!
CycleChat? No!
YouTube? How!
Talk about being cut off in one's prime!
I watched a couple of things that I had saved on my Humax box and then went to bed.
It made me realise how important a decent broadband connection is to me. The last time that I was that cut off was on holiday in Wales a few years ago. That wasn't so bad because being in a new place was keeping me busy and I wasn't alone for a week or more.
Anyway... It was a relief to find that the problem has been resolved overnight!
And now I will throw off the comfort blanket of the Web to venture out for half an hour on my singlespeed bike. The Hunt for the Phantom Paper Pilferer aka Le Tour de Tod. And I need to score some drugs from my dealer... ***

When I was working in Newtown I would drive home and on one stretch the road is above the valley and I could look down at the planes going by

MAny years ago a doctor took my BP when I wasn;t expecting it - it was high
I asked him to try it again later on and after I had had a chance to calm down and breath slowly for a while
It was back to normal!
Last time they were worried about it they gave be a measurer to take home and I had to record the BP every hour or so
