Status Quo
OK - now this is getting slightly annoying. After a week - still no broadband and the broadband company seems to have problems getting the technicians (from another phone company) to give us a ring and come and fix the problem. They randomly appear, seem to do stuff and then disappear without explaning what the problem is and if it is fixed or not. So I still don't know what the problem is and neither does the broadband company. I have spent close to an hour each day over the phone to the broadband company and all they know is that something is wrong and that they will try and get this problem fixed, hopefully in this coming week. Grrrrrrrr........Other electrical malfunctions in the house which I trying to sort out is the second hand washing machine that I bought before moving into this house and Lydia is trying to sort out the microwave that she brought as it doesn't seem to be working either. So all this has definitely got me angsty.
To counter all the angst I decided to do several things - first amongst them was to try and do something physical every evening - it was tennis on tuesday; swimming on wednesday; yoga on thursday. Getting back to swimming after a year and half was a little harder than I thought- I think I will have to increase the frequency to twice a week in order to get my body working again. Then yoga the following day was refreshing but painful. It is amazing how much the body grows brittle if you don't flex it all the time. On saturday morning I had a quick game of tennis with Lance and then I got started on my gardening ambitions - to try and grow some flowers and plants to beautify the house and also to start my own veggie garden.
First I bought Yates Simply Gardening book and poured through it to get some essential information. After that I spent a good couple of hours in the gardening shop pestering the staff for various kinds of info and I ended up buying a bunch of flower pots and gardening stuff to start off the process. I transfered the flowers into bigger pots and also put some new potting mix to help their growth. Starting a veggie garden is currently out of my budget and i'll start it after my next pay check as I intend to buy a raised garden bed frame and then start the veggie patch, so as to help the vegetables grow better. You will hear more about my gardening adventures in future posts no doubt.
For now - that's me.
