    How frustrating.  Hope it gets sorted soon.

  • So, internet still down 😾
    Having said that , the wifi and telephone do work 📞
    This meant me contacting the tech team again. 
    This time I was advised to turn wifi off on my printer 🖨as that supposedly clashes with the router . 
    I had to call them again , and they are monitoring it for next 48 hrs. 

    I managed to ( just! ) have video workout with mr trainer 🏋️‍♂️. I did the usual mirroring from iPhone to Apple tv .  This of course stopped halfwa through , but I tampered with the hdmi Extn socket as I only have one hdmi socket on my tv which isn't smart. I do love the old tv I have though .
    If I want to watch my you tube stuff I may be able to mirror from iPad , but I'll see if I can be bothered . 

    Mr trainer 🏋️‍♂️Is more than happy with my performance , and can understand me replacing food with crisps as I was doing physical stuff regardless and I was keeping up with him .

    No walk today for obvious reasons 🐾 It was raining today and is damp 🌧💧☔️

    I'll leave it there ...🌧

    Hope you get back internet connection today and the weather is good enough for your walk  :)

  • Welll it looks like the internet issue is sorted 🤞.
    I received the questionnaire txts from Vodafone about how they are doing etc, but unusually the questions came at different times . The final question was on my phone in the early hrs of this morning . 
    Having said that , I decided to do another reset this morning and everything looks normal now ,and no red light flashing . 

    I went for walk today 🐾and when I came back everything is still working .
    I plugged the wifi printer 🖨back in and nothing has changed .

    Regarding the walk 🐾 still tough but after yesterdays leg workout 🏋️‍♂️, it has to be expected . 

    It's funny looking at the new colour in the front room . I'm just getting used to it 
    Although the room is a sun trap , the daffodil white 🌼has made it that bit darker .
    A thought came through my head when the window area was painted . Looks best there 
    I did think of leaving the rest of the room white then . It's done now , and it's growing on me . 

    Bright and warmer for next few days . 

    I'll leave it there ..🌥🔆

  • Spoke to another 2 advisers . You would think with he reference number, that they have everything to hand . No, of course not . The last person I spoke to sounded like a mail order bride . Know you long time .. hopeless ! 
    I did tell her that I don't need to take facecover off of wall, but she insisted .
    Offshoot is, an engineer from openreach will be here Tuesday morning . 
    I was getting a little ratty his time 🐀, as I'm still awaiting compensation from the last problem in March . Having said all that , the box outside has been loose and I did tape it only for it to become loose again . Probabky weather , but I think a new faceplate is needed and that should sort out problem . 
    Anyway , I'm grateful for wi-fi working ..

    I've been tidying up flat and making more progress . I may pain kitchen tomorrow , if I still have kitchen paint left from before . 
    There is a job of emptying out the wardrobe ..which I keep putting off 😬

    I'll leave it there ..😼🐣
