Fiddling

 The Gorse Fox explained that the re-jigging of the WiFi mesh worked. iT took hime a little longer to tidy up the cabling changes that had been made. He also had to order a couple of bits from Amazon to finish the job.

The Silver Vixen spent much of the morning on the phone to friend. It was during this call that the Gorse Fox started to think about the changes to our network that are scheduled for Wednesday... One of the changes is a switch to a digital phone line. He asked himself "Does this need a different phone? Will it have the same number?". These were questions he should have asked when the change was requested. It turns out that Yes, and new phone is required - and a new number will probably be allocated. He phoned BT. They cannot send a new phone while the current order is still open - the Gorse Fox needs to wait until Thursday. As for the phone number -m he can request the preservation of the old number... if he isn't too late... but again needs to wait until Thursday.

The Silver Vixen called Jane this afternoon. Their trip to Edinburgh has been cancelled because of the self-serving, treacherous railway unions who put themselves and their perceived needs above the whole country as it tries to recover from the last two years of pandemic. The Gorse Fox cannot adequately describe the contempt he has for these morons.
