I’m Back On Line!
Hi Everybody, this is just a short and hasty post to say that after a titanic battle with BT and AOL, both of whom made horrendous mistakes that have wrought havoc with my life and work, I am now connected again and hope to be writing regularly.
If you’ve sent in a comment I hope to moderate it in the next day or two and it should appear. I’ll need a day or so for the dust to settle and to clear the wreckage from the site, though. Meanwhile, I hope the snow is causing you more aesethetic pleasure than practical problems.

Welcome back Grevel,
The snow is indeed very beautiful – I especially like the subtle quality of reflected light in a room from the snow outside. In his story ‘Yuki-onna’ (The Woman of the Snow) from ‘Kwaidan’ Lafcadio Hearn cites the wonderful Japanese term for this:
‘yuki-akari’ – ’snow-light’.
All the Best,
Nigel
