Not a Lot

 Friday, November 20

 

Happy Birthday, younger grandson Josh, 19 to-day. 

Technology is wonderful - until it stops working properly - and we're in Lockdown. First of all my SKY Qbox stopped connecting to the router so that many of its attractions are unavailable. Then, the router started cutting in and out of internet connection. 

Quick ending. TalkTalk tell me that my router is the newest and best and is working normally. Check the connection.That's fine too. So?

Pam's IPhone has been locked for months, since she forgot the screen passcode. North Walsham Vodaphone shop said that a visit to the Castle Mall Apple Store was the only way to restore the phone. Appontments only, none abailable for months.

I have spent an inordinate amount of time this week following Apple online instructions, talking to Apple helpline, looking on Youtube etc, still no luck. I've tried something else this afternoon, it seems to be downloading and working. We'll see. 

Phone unlocked. Hurrah. Now Apple are confusing things. Manana, I've had enough.

No moths in last night's traps, only a few Caddis flies  and a spider said to be 'common', yet I don't remember seeing one before.

 

A Cross Orb Weaver, or Common Garden Spider 

Andrea has finished virtually emptying the centre bed, spreading ten bags of mushroom compost and some fertiliser before re-planting. The larger herbaceous were split and put in a veg.bed, temporarily, before being distributed around our garden and that of grateful neighbours. We intend edging the bed but haven't yet decided on the material.

The stump of the aged Witch Hazel remains as there is a Clematis growing up it.
