Well, I never thought I’d get to use this image…. Hands up those of you who have genuinely seen on of these on the telly in their lifetimes!
If you have indeed seen one of these test cards before, you’ll know what they mean. “The broadcaster apologises for the service interruption.” Or it could simply mean that the channel is offline.
In my case, at this point in time, it means both. My service is interrupted, and I am therefore offline. Here’s why:
Yes, I’ve finally moved house, with the entire Wells family, of course. The big day is today, Tuesday 19th June. And the implication? No telephone line, no cable, no broadband (ADSL or DSL, for those of you on the other side of the pond).
NO INTERNET.
That’s right. So I won’t be blogging, tweeting, emailing, using Facebook or doing anything technical at all.
No posts, not even Music Monday or CentreStage. Nada. Niente.
Complete Radio Silence.
How long will this sad state of affair last? Who knows. I’m told it could be a week from today, or more. So… until you see me back online, I’ll have to refer you to the test card and tell you: Author, Interrupted. But you’ll know when I’m back, rest assured. Take care, my friends, and don’t forget to keep rockin’. Oh, and send me some good vibes while I’m unpacking 100 boxes.
