New home, and an unexpected wait for the internet

Moving on out

We’ve had to move twice in 12 months. This gets old fast when it’s not by choice. However, we’re now in a new house and we’ve a level of certainty that we have not had recently.

But, there’s a problem with that.

It’s like 1985 in here…

There is no internet, and our mobile phone reception is marginal on a good day due to our distance from the nearest cell tower.

We’re waiting on an electrician to come in to trench out and replace the current conduit, which ends 25 metres short of the pit in the street, so that the broadband company can connect us up.

The result is that hopefully sometime in February we’ll have the internet connected and I’ll be able to upload January’s video.

1985 is better than I remember it in someways, but worse in others. For now I’ll keep working on thing’s here in the Turdis, and keep carrying on.

I just wish you could see me typing this on my phone. It would be nice if I could make my sausage fingers work on it, like they do on the keyboard.

I’ll be in touch in a week or two. Assuming we’ve arrived in 1997 by then. I wonder if my CompuServe account still works?

I’d promised the final part in the series “Operations on a Maintenance Centre Layout”, how to put the ops system in play, by the end of November. And then I got COVID-19. 

Work in progress

Despite being double vaccinated, I still managed to catch this damned virus. And it has not been fun. So far, I’ve spent a week in home isolation, not really able to talk, coughing most of the time. After a week of that, I hurt everywhere. Every muscle involved in coughing is telling me to stop. Today, for the first time, I’m finally able to talk, quietly, and not cough. So there is some improvement. But I’m a ways from being out of this.

The final post, “Operations on a Maintenance Centre Layout (Part 7 – Op till you Drop)” will probably not reach your notice until Christmas at this stage. I apologise, however, the tank is empty and I’m just trying to get through the day.

Here’s hoping that you and your families are all well. So far, no one else at my home has caught the virus. For which I am very grateful. I hope that remains true for you as well.

All the best and I hope you’ll look forward to “Operations on a Maintenance Centre Layout (Part 7 – Op till you Drop)” in a couple of weeks.
