The Explanation and Other News

Finally back to normal, I thought I'd take this time to tell you what's been happening:

Explanation
As some of you will have no doubt noticed, my other website stopped working last week without warning.
Despite my efforts to resolve it, I realised it was nothing to do with me, but instead someone with über-authority had closed it down.
A bit miffed, I went to visit the person responsible (I recommend her bread recipe) to ask firstly why had my site been closed down, and secondly why I had not been told about it by email (I found out from the visitors who could no longer see my site).
Well, after a brief encounter it was explained to me that I was not an organisation (well look at my web address now, what's that after my name ".org.uk" ! ) and she shut it down just like that. Well it took me a while searching the web high and low (and in all other dimensions as well) for space to put my site on, but in the end I realised the best solution was to pay to host it and get all the things I wanted.
So, the long and short of it is, I'm now to be found here at http://www.marcuslloyd.org.uk.
And the story to be learnt from this little saga: Don't look a gift-horse in the mouth.

News
Short update on what's happening.
We are in a sudden spurt of birthdays at the moment, what with Kjell having his last saturday, Leanna yesterday, and Ethel today. So, all together now "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Kjell, Leanna, Ethel, happy birthday to you".
Of course with so many birthdys at the same time, it was inevitable that not everyone would be able to go to everyone's party, and as there is a spanish party on a boat on the Rhine tonight as well as a BBQ party in Hechtsheim, we'll have to see which one was better :)

Anyway, now should get back to prepare myself for later (makeup takes such a long time - only kidding).
Have a good night
