Still Sorting Out

My wifi/broadband ordeal continues.  Part the Two now it is Monday.  I spent most of my morning talking to BT, who were actually incredibly helpful so a big thank you to Dylan who did his absolute best for me and completely understood my predicament, though by the end he did go into Full Sales Pitch mode which I found a little unnecessary.

So, afterwards, feeling a huge need for some fresh air and sanity, I took the dogs out for a walk over in my little 5 acre croft, Clothie.

I wanted to see the state of the grazing as I will be putting the old horses and ponies in there soon for as much of their winter as I can.

The grass was looking very good but amongst it were a good variety of toadstools, which I decided to identify to see if any were edible.

The short answer is no!  The whole lot are murderous but they do have some great names.

Anyway, I learned a lot today – not just about broadband and mobile phone packages.

Back home and the ponies were waiting for me.

I kissed a few noses and filled up their water (they do get through it so obviously haven’t found the stream in the corner of the field). This was my sanity.

After lunch, I started all over again with Plusnet (my broadband provider), who again were remarkably helpful and I think I have changed over to wifi mobile broadband but, knowing me, I may have got in a muddle and just made things twice as expensive!  I am easily talked into things, I think.
