Some considerable listening today...

In the morning, a nice breakfast at home, involving Irish Wheat Bread, my new favourite...

Then "Maigret" - great stuff...

In the afternoon, over to the hospital for a visit to my mum...

She's a bit disappointed that she might be in for another three weeks and that her walking is not quite as good as it should be yet...

But she's persevering...


Her intravenous antibiotics are due to end on 27 June and, depending on the infection levels, she may get home sooner than she thinks...

Fingers crossed...

Home around five...

Anne was off to Zumba with Lynn - toning themselves for the upcoming Italian trip no doubt...

I watched two episodes of "Supernatural" after the internet went down at 6...

A huge thunderstorm just before Anne arrived home...


A tasty late tea of Prawn & Chorizo Pasta...

This was followed by super frustrating attempts to sort the internet...


Bluriness no doubt due to anger...

Eventually, around 11, success - this involved resetting the router completely...

As is always the case with computer problems, truth be told, although it's fixed, I really have no firm idea of exactly how I did it...

Oh well...

Some bringing up to date of this and of the music on my phone...

That'll do...

Highlight of the Day : Fixing the internet...
