Uh-Oh!

I have difficult news to report: my trusty laptop - my sidekick in mission - has given up the ghost. I'm trying to sort this problem out and I'm hopeful it can be solved both a) relatively cheaply and b) in Mthatha but I'm not optimistic either will be the case. But in the meantime the frequency of my blog posts and e-mails is likely to be drastically curtailed.

UPDATE: The computer - a trusty old iBook - is kaput. There's no Mac repairer within a 1000 miles of me. I'm working on a solution.
