Me again,,,, oh I wish!

I am unable to send individual messages - sadly - and typing with two fingers is worse than when I learned how to type.
I want to say thanks for messages via the blog, it seems the only way Google will allow. And to Ron, thanks for the card, which I have not seen. It will be a sad birthday, I think. 
Latest news is that the engineer will not be visiting me  in the near future, no indication as to a possible date!  
Needless to say, I am fed up.
