In the wrong country
22 April 2003 
Ah, back in the land of the living, or at least connected. Damn BT, if I could get broadband, I think I'd move back down to Wales in a shot. I've signed up my parents on the BT register for Aberdare, but fear that they live too far away from the exchange anyway, let alone awaiting the rest of the 400 to sign up.
After spending my first 18 years there, I know the town so well. The countryside, I know every tree. All of the old ladies in the street have died now, and some who have moved there I still refer to as 'new.' Even as my mam points out that they've been there 20 years.
Nice to be back on broadband. Pity I'm still in the wrong country.
