All day LJ has been pretty much inaccessible, all the while the 'Is it down?' pages told me LJ was up. I have it now, but I had it at 10 am and did not at 10:15. So all the dire warnings about 'cherish it while it lasts' may be right, as doomsayers often are.

Otherwise life is not as pleasant as it was when I was on holiday last week. Karin keeps me going, but one Wordtank is having conniptions over President's Choice batteries and the other is sadly aged. Ye Japan-domiciled, do you use Wordtanks and if so which model?
