In the middle of the night last week, thieves dug up a mile of the phone cables to our village. The phones been dead since, which I'm ok with, but there's been no internet either which none of us are ok with.
Hopefully - fingers crossed - we'll be back in the C21st century soon. For now I've dragged my laptop to work and am catching up on the world in my breaks.
I'm missing my blogging fix, but I'm definately getting more making done. With Little Bun's birthday makes, easter and then a market coming up that's not a bad thing at all.
Oh and if you're interested - the cottage in the pic is a smoking one I got for Mother's day last year. You put a fag in the back door and smoke blows out of the chimney. I gave up when I was pregnant with Miss Rosey so none of that smoking malarkey is left to see if it works.
Hopefully I'll be back in blogging world properly again soon.
Crikey! It can't be easy to fence a mile of ex-underground cable...
ReplyDeletePeople steal the oddest things. I had a call once from the police to say someone had stolen my front path!! Even though it was my path I had a job to keep a straight face when talking to the insurance.

It really makes the mind boggle what people will steal they don't think about the consequences for others. Sorry you have been without the internet but like you so its given you more time to sew which is a positive ;-) That little cottage is sweet could you use it for incense sticks instead? dee x
ReplyDeleteIt just gets worse, cables, church leading, street signs, drain covers..........
ReplyDeleteIncense cones would be perfect for your lovely cottage.

oooh, I think these days I'd fall apart without the internet. Isn't that pathetic? It's horrendous what people will steal, and the inconvenience it causes for all us law abiding lot! I hope they get it sorted soon and you are back with us in bloggyland!

PS The cottage is amazing!
Years ago as local radio in Bath reported a spate of thefts of garden gnomes from houses all in the same close, someone phoned in to say the gnomes were queuing at a bus stop around the corner. And they were! People do the craziest things, sadly some are more benign than others, I just hope that you get your internet back soon.
