Three weeks ago ,at approximately 4 am in the morning we were awoken to the loudest crack of thunder I have ever heard.The following morning we had no hot water or internet.Panic set in.
The hot water was easy.Call the plumber.
The internet ,call Optus.
Can't find the problem.Think the lightning hit the power box.
Long phone calls after long phone calls,technicians visiting the premises ...still no solution.
Meanwhile we resort to cracking the code of neighbors internet.Niamh is experiencing end of the world emotions as she can't face time,instagram,kick and whatever other social media programs there are.
"we owe her 28 hours of internet time"is her response as generally she is limited to an hour of the ipad a day.
The world is definately ending.
The next appointment,due to Christmas and the back up of work(or the holidays of the Optus crew...)is the end of january.
Oh dear.
The neighbours will catch on
niamhs friends will forget her
john can't search swell net every hour and I can't blog.
How do we pay the bills?
And google things?
Then...a thought.Maybe its the modem.If every other person in our block is still connected to the internet why aren't we.?
I race upstairs to the neighbors who internet we have been stealing and ask if i can try our modem in there connection.
IT DOESN'T WORK.
A trip to Harvey normans,buy a new modem,call a few people and bobs your uncle.
So easy even the husband can do it....
Back on line.
The world didn't end
Niamhs friends didn't forget her
Johns been on swell net since 5am this morning and I'm back blogging with a back log of stories and photos for you.
Phew.
