Our apologies...

Personal update for the week that has fortunately gone: We had a blowout -or at any rate a very nasty Trojan isolated by our inimitable computer guru. Our apologies for not being able to keep you updated. We also had to use our umbrellas inside thanks to neglecting one of those oh-so-nice-in-the-summer flat terraces that leaked like a sieve (our inimitable guru says: 'Things are exactly as they should be': alas, he's right!). As a result of this latter, the fuse box popped and popped and finally died. After over seven hours of looking for the fault, our inimitable-also-electricity-guru-without-whom-who-knows-what discovered that a cable leading from the fuse box onto the patio, and painted over for centuries, had been fixed to the wall with a steel L-nail (good logical thinking!), had rusted and therefore ... oh, no matter, it's fixed. Our enormous thanks to our inimitable guru, though! And incidentally, Prospero was asked this very morning if he had retired, as JimenapPulse seemed to have stopped. Puzzled, Prosp enquired as to wha' the deevil ... Retiring from what? He's not old enough! NO! JimenaPulse continues as ever, or as long as anyone is willing to look in and advertisers are willing to cooperate...
