Up before 6 - couldn't sleep due to the lurgi...



Writing this and heading down a Bad Plus shaped rabbit hole...

The old router was working...


The new system was not...



At 9, on the online chat to TalkTalk...

at 11, finished...

Upshot - Engineer coming tomorrow afternoon. Complaints Dept calling me tonight.  We get a credit of £6.10 per day for everyday not on Full Fibre from the date of the City Fibre installation...

Let's see how that all goes...

Anne out at Zumba - made a start on the selection for this week's podcast - which will be late again...

Out to my mum's for 1...

More sorting out, chucking out and selling off - today, the table and chairs...

The ramps we had to use to get mum out of the house will also now go up for sale...




Took around six bags of old, large, heavy reference books to the FourSquare charity, along with the majority of my old dad's CD collection, post me and Sheila having taken a few items each...

I bought these there for £1.50 all told...






Back home and, as I arrived, a call from the engineers - they were in the area and could they pop by?

Yes indeed...

A broken connection outside the house was deemed the problem re our connection failing yesterday and today, post router arrival...

Sorted...

Speed Test showed that the new system is around 3.25 times faster re downloading and around 8 times faster re uploading...


Off Anne went to the shops - with this as an added target (achieved)...


Two episodes of "Continuum" enjoyed...

On Anne's return, a tasty tea concocted - tagliatelle, mushrooms, asparagus, cream and onions, with crusty bread...


Yum...


Funnily enough, no call from TalkTalk's complaints department...

"Taskmaster" and two "Shetland"s enjoyed...

Upstairs to catch up on today's music and, indeed, write this up...

...and, today, I stopped posting on Twitter...


To bed around midnight...

Highlight of the Day : New broadband at last...
