GPS

I managed another lay-in. It was nearly seven before I stumbled to the kitchen and made some coffee. There was no hurry. The day started with the usual reading, and when Di emerged, I went to shower and prepare for my morning call with the cousins.

We had a couple of absentees this week, but the call was fun. We heard about Tim's holiday in Calahonda, and the trials and tribulations of the Australian contingent as they drain their pools for the coming winter. (There was very little sympathy expressed by the gallery.)

I went to Zoe's. She has recently switched to EE for her mobile phone, broadband, and TV. She hasn't, however, installed the equipment. I went to help out. The new Smart Hub 7 installed very easily, then it was a matter of reconnecting and testing everything. The WiFi Mesh was soon active, but the security system took a little bit longer. We reset each device, and they burst into life. Finally, we installed the EE TV mini box. This took longer than everything else. Not because it was difficult, but because we had to type in the 96-letter password using a TV remote and an on-screen keyboard. (Ok, it may not have been 96 letters - but it seemed like it.) It finally burst into life and gave Zoe a quick breakdown of how it works. With everybody happy, I headed back home.

Last night, I sent an email to the Cat Whisperer to ask if he had any availability during the summer months. This morning, he responded with a few dates, so I immediately booked Jasper for a week in August. I'm not sure whether we'll do anything, but at least Jasper gets a holiday. We are a little constrained until Diane has seen the Consultant on Monday, regarding a knee replacement. We don't know when it is likely to be done or the recovery time. Once we know, we may book several days away.

I had problems during our river cruise with the software that adds GPS tags to the photos from my camera. I spent a while this afternoon trying to get to the bottom of this. Well, I did, and I didn't. I managed to apply all the GPS tags to the photos... but never worked out why it didn't work while we were away.
