My internet went down yesterday, out from 8 am till 4 pm (0800-1600 in old money.) Never realised how stuck I'd be without it, you see something and say, 'I'll look that up' then realise you can't.
OK, still had the phone, but titchy screen and a keypad built for a fruit fly ? … not really my bag. When it came back on, first thing I did was order a connector from Amazon to put the phone on the HDMI TV screen.
I'll give Sky their due, they sent me a text to say there was an area outage, and another when it came back up.
Tell me, what did we do before the internet ?

All finished and thought I'd make a head start on kitchen by removing cupboard doors and shelves.

As its too wet for the shed roof I'm preparing it for new internal structural ply where rain destroyed the back wall skins.

Want to stop in and diet ,but so many places to try and things to do that it's hard to stay in being good instead.Doing my bit to keep Paracetamol companies going ...
We are thinking of going to the theatre to see a musical event supporting Guide Dogs next week though....so maybe will be able to go out for the night without consuming too many boozy calories ....

There was a little old lady (must have been well into her 80's / 90's ) came into the disco pub last night with some youngsters. She was enjoying herself on the dance floor as well!
I treat these disco pub sessions as mild aerobic classes
proactive
Enjoying a drop of red.
Does the theatre not have a bar?All this going out not doing my waistline too good either
