as time goes by

Yes, a return to the song titles, but also a reflection on where the rest of this week has gone! When I sat in front of the laptop this (Saturday) evening and saw that my last entry was on Monday, I was given to wonder into which alternative universe the intervening four days have gone. I know that part of the answer is given by the joys of internet service providers who don't provide the services they promote, while another chunk (yesterday) was given over to most of the day spent at the Lakeshore Hospital, with each of Thursday and Friday night (and some continuation into this evening) peppered by the cacophony of Diwali fireworks. Each of these will be the subject of separate blogs, as a way of trying to break down the experience into meaningful chunks for you, dear reader. It will also give me some structure to work out an explanation for the disappearance of the rest of that time.
