Well this week I have had some unexpected spare time as I have been mildly ill with a cold.  I'm ill enough so I have to stay at home but I am not so bad that I have to stay in bed, and I don't have the energy to do anything strenuous so no housework (well thats my excuse) so what do I do?

I have done a lot of this and caught up with some friends, and I have watched all three of my extended Lord of the Rings DVDs.  I've been a Ringie for some years and I just love the movies so that was a real treat. And I rang my sponsor.

He has been off work too with time on his hands and has had some real temptations towards the internet.  It struck me that for people with some kinds of addiction free time can be a real danger.  At the time that I rang he had been talking to someone online and then talked to me on the phone and was about to go into an online meeting so I was struck by what a help that is, just to have contact with other addicts. 

So I am vastly appreciative of all my friends here and on other sites.  We need to support each other and if the internet can bring us together across half of the world that is one in the eye for the other side who would use it to enslave us. Cara
