Zoe had a day off so there was no hurry to get up. I wandered around the corner at 8:20 and presented myself for escort duties. Zoe was raging. The school caterers had, again, cocked up Ellie's lunch orders. Fortunately, Zoe had taken screenshots when she submitted the orders and thus had proof that it was their problem - indeed half of the school were affected yesterday.
Back home, breakfasted and caffeinated I headed into the village for a haircut. On arrival, I received a message that my delivery from Sky was due in 20 minutes. It's a good job I have a limited amount of hair to cut. I was home in time to take the delivery and send back the old failed box. Talking of failure, they remind you to take out your viewing card before returning the old box. Despite these reminders, I realised as the DPD driver turned out of our road that I had, indeed, forgotten. A phone call to Sky followed. A new viewing card is due in the next day or so.
Diane wanted to go along to Port Solent. It seemed like the ideal day for such an outing. Traffic was almost non-existent and we arrived in no time. She found the store she wanted and found what she was after. Clutching her purchases we strolled along the boardwalk to "Wildwoods" where we had some lunch and a coffee before heading home.
We had some Kindle time and then Di went with Zoe to collect Ellie. I settled on the floor of the lounge and started to wire up the Sky-Q box. I made a few adaptations to the cabinet in which it is housed. The adaptations were primarily to allow an easier cable run than before. I think I have done all that I can until the replacement viewing card arrives. All the usual Terrestrial TV channels and streaming channels are set in the TV itself, so the lack of Sky for a few days is not a major inconvenience.
