Bike

Apologies to those waiting for their daily top up, but I still have no broadband connection which I find very frustrating. Then to top it all, my little netbook went and lost all of the tonight's episode---god knows how, but I don't. I'm very tired so I'm not doing one tonight, Bonzi also sends his a-purr-logies.

I hope normal service will be resumed tomorrow, although that might be the last one before my holiday.

Having internet connection problems

I can't access the internet via my broadband connection and am waiting for the techies to contact me in the next day or so. My posting of stuff may thus be delayed as I'm using my dongle and netbook computer. This is slow and it loses the signal when it feels like it, losing me whatever I was doing.

Finally done it

I spent ages this morning trying to get Internet Exploder to download the sites I wanted to visit. For some reason it doesn't like Top Shelf. I was cross anyway, because I should have been doing a bike ride today and had to cry off because I wasn't very well. So after taking another long period to download an alternative - this being my netbook with dongle connection, which claims to work at 7.2Mbs, but is more like 5Kbs - I am now writing this with the good offices of Firefox, amazing what you can do with cheese. Thank you Mozzarella for your assistance.

Cavendish wins again.

The Manx Missile makes it two in a row at the Tour of Missouri, and his twenty third win of the season - including six stages of the TdF.

The downside is that I won't see him next week when I marshal on the Tour of Britain, because he's in the US. However, Bradley Wiggins is riding so that should be good. Remember he came fourth overall in the TdF and gave Lancie boy a bit of a fright.

Bike, Totally Insane, Whatever Next etc.

I'm away for a week commencing 25th September. I'll be abroad - Menorca again, and I don't think my dongle will work there, so I won't be posting for a week.

I've done a new episode of Whatever Next, my Gaby fanfic, which I have to finish editing. I hope to get that to Maddy over the weekend but with her computer problems, I can't say when it'll be posted.

Hugs,

Angharad.

Bonzi has a girlfriend

She's called Izzy and is a tortoiseshell and white shorthair. I'll do a photo when I get a chance - Bonzi of course doesn't know yet that there's a another female here to nag him, but he'll find out when he gets home. She's busy (I know busy Izzy but I didn't name her) exploring the place. I hope within a few days they'll have settled down together without blood on the ceiling.

Do others?

Share the frustrations of carefully, or even occasionally, cleverly wording a comment to a blog or story, pressing submit only to see a fault notice come up and one's efforts disappear into the void?

I suspect the major culprit is MS and their idiot offspring Internet Exploder, although it does tend to happen more on this site than others I visit.

Obviously it's happened again hence this blog.

Sex swap police scandal

The Daily Express triumphs again! This was the headline article on Saturday 15th August 2009. It's about the formation of a support group by transgendered police officers/civilian workers, which might get some funding to set it up. This is cutting edge investigative journalism at its...never mind, bloody tabloid comic.

I hope the link below works.

Follow up to How different?

I've received several requests/hints to do a follow up to How different from us. Is there much enthusiasm for it? I am emphasising now that would be it - I'm not creating any more serials until some of the older ones are finished. However, if there's enough interest I might do a follow up as the relationship between Mollie and her dad might be worth exploring. What do you think, readers?

How different

I posted this story 'How different from us' last year, around April time. It appears to have disappeared, so I shall repost it tomorrow if I have time. Those who haven't read it will have a chance to do so, and those who have previously read it, will have an opportunity to relive the experience. How's that for value? I think it's quite good, but then I would, wouldn't I?

Interesting Essay

Psychoanalyst Adam Phillips examines the culture of excess which seems such a part of modern life. He looks at this in regard to all areas of life, including consumerism, sex, and religion. It's well worth the read and it may give insight into how you feel about yourself.

The essay is in today's Guardian Review. Link below.

Bike is two years old.

Who in their right mind would have thought that I'd still be scribbling away at Cathy's trials and tribulations, two years after writing what was going to be a blog about getting soaked to the skin while out riding on Dolly (the picture of the bike at the end of most episodes) in a thunderstorm. Instead, I turned it into what was primarily a comedy romance, which evolved into an adventure story and finally into a soap - exploring some of the issues of being transgendered/ transsexual, and trying to live a normal life as a female.

Bastille Day

Bastille Day, 14th July, is the anniversary of the French mob storming the hated fortress/prison in the centre of Paris in 1789, and is commonly regarded as one of the beginnings of the French Revolution.

A few years later, 1986 to be precise, I rather sedately broke out of my own prison, coincidently on the same day. It came about by my going to see my general manager, who had got wind of my intentions via the grapevine--someone who'd been told in confidence, blabbed.

Bike

I'm staying with my daughter for the next couple of nights, so real life might well get in the way of my art(if you believe that you'll believe anything!). Viz, I might just be too busy to have time to write.

The connection time to the internet has been awful tonight, taking twenty minutes to open BC to post. I haven't yet managed to get to my emails, lost the will to live before they opened. Must be the location, it isn't like this at home.

I'll post again when I can, possibly sunday or monday.

Bike 678

I've managed to post Bike 678 tonight, however, the link to my dongle is not very good and I can't promise to get online every night. I will post as and when the vagueries of internet connections allow. Yorkshire is colder than Dorset -brrrrrrrr! I'll have to start wearing knickers again!

Whatever Next 23 -my take on the Gabyverse - has gone to Maddy Bell, so should be up in the next week or so.

Women Paedophiles.

Women paedophiles are more common than we think. It's something I learned when doing counsellor training, however we never see or hear too much else about it. Then today on BBC Radio 4, Woman's Hour, there was an interesting article on it at the start of the programme, and lo and behold, at tea time some woman was arrested in Maine for child sexual abuse with her own children, which she was filming and selling via the internet. She was caught through liaison with West Midlands Police in the UK, who were investigating someone for downloading and selling child porn pictures on the net.

Bike 10,000

I know everyone else has had more hits, but 'Bike' part 1, has this week achieved over ten thousand hits. Okay, so no one goes on to part two, let alone the other six billion episodes, but it's nice to think at least people have had a look before deciding it's total rubbish.

For those who have read it, thank you: for those who've read them all, I hope you have a good therapist?

Hugs,

From me an' Da Bonz.

Bike 666

It seems something apocalyptic is expected in the next episode--though I'm not sure why. However, I try not to disappoint my reader - John in Wwwww..wherever. So will it all end tomorrow? You'll have to look in tomorrow and see, won't you? I don't know, I haven't written it yet but Bonzi is in a funny mood, so anything could happen.

Bonkers 26

The next Totally Insane part 26, has been writted and sent for editing, which should please one person and stop the death threats. It should be posted sometime during the next few days. So for fans of the Kylie-verse, your patience will soon be rewarded.

Bonzi the Cat.
