I have a cat covered in cobwebs trying to purr her way out of trouble...
 
haven't seen my parents in 5? months. gonna drive 200 miles across 3 states to see them for an hour tomorrow. Mom just txted me a shopping list cuz I offered. oh man, I'm gonna have to start now, then again when I reach their neighborhood for the perishables. not complaining, just really surprised at the massiveness of it all. I wish they didn't have kids so young, cuz then I'd be younger now
 
The definition of pointless - working late shift over the Easter weekend when Felixstowe Port is effectively closed down.

On the bright side, I have a Chromebook for watching stuff on, free Wi-Fi, a couple of magazines & I'm not paying for the heating & lighting,

And a good supply of snacks, I trust? :hungry:

Internet is still a bag of peanuts here. Can't connect directly, so I've installed a VPN on my daughter's PC so she can game, and I'm running VPN just for internet. Netflix works on the TV, but is slow as the upload is jittery - works for streaming but not for general web use - you can get a 'data request through, but nothing sustained.

Loads of complaints locally on the face ache page. BT, SKY, Plus Net etc, all use openreach. Even twittered open reach to tell them it's a local issue, not my equipment. BT engineer coming tomorrow.

I'll take my laptop out to the front garden to show him what's happening. If a VPN can work, it's not the local equipment.
