False panic

Had a panic when I thought that first my computer and then my monitor and then my remote-controlled power socket had failed -- but in fact everything seems to be working now, so I don't know what had happened while I was out. (The power socket was definitely lighting up and the display definitely wasn't showing anything...)

Possibly a brief power cut to which the monitor objected by shutting itself down.

The kale is still being stripped by caterpillars; I have caught three or four so far, but they are almost impossible to find until they are already big and juicy with leaf.

On a more cheerful note, I have however succeeded in translating the first four lines of the first verse of the 'guardian angel' song (breaking with tradition by starting at the beginning this time) -- only another twelve lines to go!
