No Connection

On Monday I went to do some work on the computer system at Jubilee House Christian School. I put a connector on one end of the cable and a socket on the other. This was connected to the secretary's computer. No connection. All cables were traced for continuity. The orange twisted pair proved intractible. Many tries were made. An electrician on site carried out the same tests. We gave up.

Today I repeated the tests. Same results. Everything connects, but nothing happened. My resident electrician friend came up with the same result and gave up again. I was able to use the same equipment, leads etc and connect immediately to the head teacher's computer.

What's the problem? Is the lead too long?

On the way to JHCS I popped into the allotment to photograph my doughnut shaped tomato.

Francis and his professional gardener were there and I was asked to photograph a work in progress.

In the afternoon I 'completed' a photo restoration project.
