This evening it is important to watch "Matt Baker's travels with Mum and Dad" at 9pm. It is at a gentle pace about various places of interest in the North East.

Not currently raining but thundery showers forecast.
Slept in this morning. I seem to spend a lot of time asleep these days.
Need to be up tomorrow as Openreach are supposed to call between 0800 and 1200 to find out why my line is not working properly.
I must have a word with the Openreach guy who will be doing it and tell him not to be too early. He says it is almost certainly a bad contact in a box by the roadside nearby. The contacts are aluminium and corrode in damp conditions so need cleaning.
So far this morning I have had 3 text messages reminding me of this. One from Openreach and two from BT.
I am never happy buying online as suppliers for some reason mangle my address tho' I suppose if they put on the postcode the item would get here in the end.
Why not just put the whole address instead of something like Oldwheels,The Steadings, Argyll.![]()
Those ali cables were a bit of a disaster, apparently. Much like the attempts to replace the pine poles with concrete & steel. We've still got a couple of the hollow poles here, so they did work. Most of the fibre is going in on poles, I don't see much evidence of any underground customer feeds.
Active procrastination? Can you do that with a mice pie and a cup of coffee?
I have about umpty thousand things that need doing, but cannot decide where to start.
So I shall sit down and decide which are the Very Important Things, and which are the Things I would like to Do.
What is the protocol if I think it is important to do the Things I Like?![]()
We had a delivery from Ikea today. A very large box with a variety of items. After we'd emptied everything out our granddaughter claimed it as a den, filled it with cushions from the sofa, a few of her soft toys and took up residence. " Climb in with me Grandad! ", so I did. Great fun for a while, and then I realised I didn't have the strengtht to get back out again😮. Mrs TKK had to help me up with the aid of the handle on the Patio door which I could just about reach to grasp as I inelegantly rolled over the rim of the box.
Time to place a deposit on a new ark
But should I have it with petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric propulsion 🤔
