New systems

We had a visit scheduled from Openreach today about changing our phone system to the new "Digital Voice" service (I really don't know what it's about, to be honest), so Keith had to stay at home. One of the things we had to do yesterday was hoover behind the sofa where the phone socket is, in case it was decorated with cobwebs, but it was surprisingly clean with no dead animals lurking there! That's always a bonus!

I took myself off to work and worked steadily until 4pm, clearing all the emails, putting more films onto the system and updating the spreadsheet. Tomorrow, I'm planning to do the final week of the swim camps! Hooray!

At 4pm, I went home and spent an hour setting up all of our devices on the new system, because we had a new password for the router. It's surprising how much stuff is connected: our computer, my laptop, the television (upstairs and downstairs), our phones, Alexa and the printer. Phew! I'm just glad we don't have these new internet-connected kitchen devices as well!

My Dad called this evening and we had a chat, and I wished him a happy birthday. He's 83! 

We had the chicken stroganoff for dinner this evening, and it was delicious served with rice and garlic bread. Afterwards, we watched our usual Monday night programmes, Only Connect and University Challenge. We let the cats stay out tonight as it was too hot in the house to keep them in. Sophie certainly missed her furry cuddles before bed!
