Pomeroon Chips: Hello. Hello? Beeeeeep.

It ain't easy living in the Pomeroon. A phone conversation goes something like this: "Hello." "Hello?" "Hello?" Beeeeep. [followed by my offline expletives]. The push notifications on my ipad tantalisingly reveal the first line of my emails but won't give me access to the actual messages. Why? The internet reception is... [fill in the gaps with as many expletives as you like]. I can't do online bank transactions or send email attachments and I can only work on my laptop for as long as my battery power lasts - my apologies in particular to Jeremy Poynting who has been patiently waiting for my intro to 'In the Eye of the Storm'. If it wasn't for the overwhelming beauty of the Pomeroon, its wonderful people and the occasional bottle of Banks beer, I would definitely be on the first plane back to Blighty. Ok. Deep breath. Positive thoughts. Keep calm and Pomeroon on.
