My Internet connection and my brain are suffering from the same affliction today. The ability of either to respond to promptings of any kind is being met with a sort of clunking grudgery. Watching the web loading bar move at excrutiating slow speeds as I trawl vainly for inspired themes - I realise it's merely mimicking the thought processes going on in my head. Poor connection, poor concentration - they are related, united in the project of " A Stodgy Day".

A well crafted piece including inspirational links, snazzy references, firecracker prose and insightful allusions...Ahem ( cue playful look with tongue probing cheek)... will have to wait until I am mechanically and intellectually functional. (Lost connection and lucid consciousness three times during that last sentence!)
