You're not dead.
Which is good.

Awkward? You're telling me. Can you give us all a call when it's sorted?
Never mind dg; we'll manage. You deserve a rest.
Glad to hear it's just a technical problem: when a blog as regular as this one unexpectedly doesn't appear, it feels like the digital equivalent of the milk bottles piling up on the doorstep.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

(Well, someone was going to say it sooner or later)
Thank goodness it was only your internet that became disconnected and not you! We await your next post with anticipation! ☺️
Give the digits a rest for the day, you've earned it !
Shortest. Blogpost. Ever.
I keep one of those USB Mobile Internet thingies around for this sort of problem. The trouble is, it stops working if I don't use it for 3 months or so and I lose all the credit, so by the time I actually need it, I usually end up having to phone up and either get it re-activated or ordering a new SIM card (by which time my main internet connection has probably been restored).
got to say it: Post Value Hierachy a record-breaking lowly 2 on this one. Granted "circumstances beyond your control". Oh and for once my comment is longer than your post! Not as well written I realise but hey that's life...
DGs' was able to update his flickr stream with the photos I imagine would have illustrated todays post :-)

Compressed kittens tending toward infinity. You need to harness some recursive cats and spiral them down to a singularity.

Because the internet is made of cats...
Not to worry, other blogs are available.
@ David Skinner - I wouldn't dare saying that in real life. People are liable to become violent - possibly even very violent.

Completely sympathise with you DG. Experienced same myself...and the utter stupidity of stock phrases like the above.

Nice engineer did eventually get posted to the job!
@E
There are other blogs but not as interesting and as varied as DG,'s!
It happens. I have been grateful a couple of times for still hanging on to the dial-up service that is linked to my email address. I plug in a USB modem and am at least able to check email, and access the website my ISP thoughtfully provides for its customers to find out how long their broadband is likely to be down!
the kittens must be playing up
I took a very deep breath when there was no daily post. I need my fix.
Both mobile and home? You can use your phone as a hotspot if necessary.
Such an empty morning.
Come back soon.
I blame the kittens too. Must have mistaken the wires for wool. Grrr.
Maybe went over on the 'fair use policy'?
In the words of the song, 'You don't know what you've got, until you lose it.'

(The blog, not the internet connection.)
You know you can plug your iPhone into your laptop, turn on Personal Hotspot and just use your phones 4G connection ... right?
Is it wrong to hope that tomorrow's post is:

"Still not working."
(just to gain the title of shortest post)
^ wrong, this is!
I shall be able to spend the rest of my life luxuriating in the fact that there was an auspicious day where my last post was longer than DGs.
Was genuinely concerned yesterday morning that you might have passed away. Turns out you haven't, but the hamster running your interwebs connection has. May it RIP.

Be back with us soon, DG.

@ Old Buccaneer

Actually I was thinking of Ral Donner's classic song !
Thanks Gerry "'cause now I know I acted In a foolish way. ..."
