Having trouble with the internets

Apparently we've been upgraded to some super-duper fast new level of broadband.
What this seems to mean is that we keep not being able to get online at all. Huh. Thanks soooo much for that upgrade, AAPT! Really!
I'm loving the constant dropping out, losing connections, or not being able to get on at all. Yeah, very convenient. So I'll be back when I can trust that this will actually work and it won't have dropped out in the short time its taken me to type this.
EDIT
And by the way - yeah, it didn't work. I'm now on my fourth attempt to try and publish this short post. Geezuz.
EDIT
Fifth time's the charm! Huzzah! And now leaving the room before I break something.

Jam

I was given a box of almost 30kg of apricots - so I made jam today. Its been probably 15 years since I made jam and I had really forgotten how long that stuff takes. My whole damn day was taken over by sticky, sweet, cooking fruit.
I sensibly offloaded about two thirds of the apricots to various neighbours, and then filled the pot with fruit and sugar and a bit of water and away I went. It worked out OK, I had just about enough jars (15) in the end... man, the problem is, after making jam all day, I'm not sure I ever want to actually eat jam again. I'm not even that into jam normally. But when you've got that many apricots - what else are you gonna do with them? I was hoping to spend a bit of today on Joolz. Damn the jam! Ha. This could almost become a Dr Seuss poem.

I ate some ham
I made some jam
Some jam for Sam
Some jam for Tam
Too much jam said I to Sam
Too much jam said I to Tam
They ate the jam
Sam & Tam
And they ate the ham
I don't give a damn
This poem about jam
Is getting out of hand
And now it doesn't rhyme anymore
Damn the jam!
The end.
