July 2005
Dear Visitor,
This update is late because my computer’s
software developed a fault that couldn’t be
repaired, so it had to be returned to factory settings.
I’ve spent several days reconnecting to various
things, reinstalling others and generally trying
to get organised, or at least as organised as I ever
was.
I’ve lost my e-mail address book and all the
entries to last month’s competition along with
the winners of the previous month’s, so all
I can do is apologise to everyone who entered either
competition, and suggest that you have multiple goes
at this month’s, to try to maximise your chances
of being picked out as a winner.
If anyone has e-mailed me or completed a website
enquiry form and has not received a reply, please
do try again – all my current e-mails were
of course lost when I had to restore the computer.
This letter was going to be about London’s
successful Olympic bid, but that has of course been
overshadowed by the terrorist attacks. My thoughts
are with anyone who was involved in these atrocities,
and I would like to offer my deepest condolences
to those who lost family or friends.
There isn’t much anyone can say about these
things except that I hope we can all stand firm and
not allow these people to disrupt our way of life,
however much they disrupt and destroy the lives of
individual people. And I know it’s much easier
to say that from the standpoint of not having been
personally touched by the horror of it, but I’m
certain it’s the only way to beat terrorism.
London has long been the target of bombers of one
kind or another, and she’s seen them all off;
I’m sure she can do that this time.
Till next month, then, when I hope I feel a little
jollier than I do right now.
Love,
Jill
