Watty's Awakening

Some electricians can sort out phone/internet issues. If you have a good one it's worth asking. I've flood-wired my last two houses for ethernet twice now, and will be doing this one in the NY - we always manage to improve the performance of my broadband at the same time.

Your  chop shop bench night sounds fun 

did something similar after Covid outside for my birthday - instead of elegantly sitting in a wine bar my friends and I giggled in a London square with far too much wine .. one got stuck in the bushes ! 

Love this.  We agreed we had had a lot of fun during the "outside" covid meet ups.   My favourite was Christmas Eve, 8 (probably too many) of us met in the village square, drank mulled wine from the stand that had set up outside a posh eatery to sell crepes and mulled wine and then bought bottles of fizz from the co-op.   The church rang the bells regularly and the square was full of people in small groups just celebrating.  Lots of people in the square had hand bells to ring and it was a genuinely lovely atmosphere.   I actually think that was one of my best Christmases!

The wiring chat is beyond me.   

I'm still not quite sure what I've been sold but am clearly aware I have "stuff" I don't need.  I'll sort out getting the bill adjusted when everything is finally working (just the internet answering service to go).

The storm is raging outside. Really difficult to even muck out today.  The horses were being threatened by a bucket blowing around the yard this morning.  Apparently a bucket capable of moving alone in a gale is terrifying and all three had their eyes out on stalks and were snorting at it.   Fearlessly I approached the bucket and grabbed it and wrestled it into the haybarn.  All 3 were relieved when I appeared unscathed and handed out breakfasts.

The horses have gone to the field and I have returned to the office to deal with the "to do" list.

I'm glad no Wattys were harmed in the bucket-capturing event.

Well done to you on the bucket snatch!

I’m sure the horses hugely appreciated their brave and courageous hooman, protecting them from rampant buckets! 😳😉😊❤️

I have spent the day "at work" stopping only for a mid afternoon sit down and cup of tea and 30 mins of TV and this morning to put a stew in the slow cooker for dinner this evening.  The VNM was tasked with finding decorations from the loft and finding a bag with the bedding that my grandmother bought me when I decorated my first house.  I knew I had hidden it in the loft to stop PPH from using it or whatever he might have done with it.

The VNM found it and bought it into my office and I broke down in tears.  There was the bedding, a throw I had bought on a Welsh holiday with my mother and grandmother some 30 years ago and a couple of old teddy bears. I felt like part of my life had been returned to me.
