to point out that I have a functional Economy 7 electricity meter and don't need or want a "smart" meter.

my TalkTalk pushing relative has had BT OpenReach people working today to reconnect her malfunctioning phoneline.

someone messed up the advert scheduling on ITV this evening.

my "baby" brother's wife has just rescued a wren from their garage.

had a callback from the TalkTalk "case manager" who couldn't get a straight answer out of their stores department about whether they bother to test stuff works before accepting it in or sending it out.

to warm up and then go investigate yesterday's packages before having to wait (ie set the trap) for the next dribs and drabs, since they split up the order.

amused that a BBC TV News cameraman had lined up Prince William with an overhead ring-light fitting to make it look like he had a halo.

put on the automatic doorbell to catch the scheduled delivery person. But one of the normal posted items actually arrived first.

had another fight with TalkTalk chat to try and get the attention of my alleged case manager who is probably smugly assuming things are fixed.

continuing to work on music files, bits of art and keeping the dance club going despite the onrushing apocalypse.
