Bright and sunny again today.
Flipping dogs woke me twice early this morning, so I ended up getting up late.
Lazy brekker and W not feeling too clever. We are going to a "vernissage" this evening where our good Dutch friends are exhibiting so having dins at lunchtime, if that make sense.

Will open the pool in a few mins. Feels like summer again. Hope you are all having a lovely time.

Congratulations. Do I recall you saying in a previous post that you'd lost some power in your legs? So if you can enjoy a three mile walk on the treadmill that sounds like a big improvement.

It's so important to keep the body active and mobile at our age. I tell myself that as I'm gasping through my press ups!

I can walk for 45 mins @ 4MPH (according to the treadmill), but pushing pedals is an entirely different matter it seems. Just no "oomph" in them there quads and glutes. :(

I remember feeling clever, once!! Wired up then set-up the sound system in my nightclub, having never done it before!! Ended up rather well and i even got complimented on the result

You are in Shropshire, I am in the Tarn in south western France, 45 mins north of Carcassonne.
Not surprising our weather is different!
But sorry yours is so pants. We had it like that a few days back for about 4 days. So cold we had to put the "immersion" on!

You mean weather is different in different parts of the world!? Blimey! I hope you're not pulling me plonker!! 🤔🤯😂🥶
 
Here I am coming to you by satellite. As I suspected, on transplanting it to Wales it wasn't easy. Plugged in and switched on and nothing happened. Well, the aerial moved itself around so I could tell it was looking for a signal but there wasn't anything there to get the internet with. So I connected via the cellular network and Elon wouldn't let me log into the customer account bit of the Starlink website, even though I was using exactly the same password and username I'd set the account up with a couple of days ago. It either froze up or told me I had invalid credentials. But I think that was their problem rather than mine. Eventually it let me in and it occurred to me that maybe it would help if I changed the 'service address' in case it was confused that I was no longer in the East Midlands. Of course, addresses in remote parts of Wales are not in their database, but I managed to find one in a village about ten miles away that it recognized as a valid address and after a further hour and a couple of reboots I have a signal. Phew. Interestingly the speed isn't as fast as it was in Leicester. Only 150Mbps. Even though there can't be very many other users to create 'contention' on the network round here.

Fighter aircraft fly over the area regularly, so no doubt the computers on the planes will identify me as an enemy radar beacon and launch air-to-surface missiles.

The monthly cost of this is in the region of 70 pounds a month. Once again, a bit pricey but comparable to what a lot of people spend on mobile telephony. I've just had a pay rise at work which gives me almost exactly this much more take-home a month, so it's just like not having a pay rise this autumn. The mobile signal boosters I'd need to be in with a chance of strengthening the cellular signal are in the region of 1,000-2,000, plus more for aerials.

Oh I see, it's the cycling that's difficult.

I'm kicking myself now, because for a number of years through my 30s and 40s I didn't do much exercise and kind of let things slide. I used to walk a lot, and spent the occasional weekend doing construction and DIY jobs for friends, but that was it. I came back to exercise just over 10 years ago, and it's difficult to recover the power and stamina of youth.

I wasn't doing to bad until something drastically changed in 2021. I don't know what. 2020 I was fine and could cycle 24 miles no problem. Then, after some over-exertion labouring at my lads place I hurt my neck again and since then..... No power. :(

Jeezo that is pricey to just be on tinternet!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Can't you get a landline to your address?
Can't the lady-friend chip in seeing as it is mostly for her?

If we had to do this, which we would have had to have done before we got a landline, I'd have gone into town to an internet café. Or borrowed a friend's as we did in emergencies or when W had to work sometimes during her hollibobs!
