Back after the Move

I am finally back to torment my long suffering reader. It has now been two months since moving, and I am finally able to get back on line. Not with any help from the useless company that is supposed to be supplying my telecommunications, Talk Talk. I will still have to wait another four weeks before they will get me online. Even before then, I may see if I can get service from another supplier. Well if Talk Talk just don't care about retaining customers, customer care or keeping promises, then I do not care to support their business.

To get online I have had to buy one of these mobile dongles. This also entailed me moving the computer to the second bedroom, from the living room. As where the new house is, in the second highest location in County Durham, I get very poor signal on cellular devices, all networks, and where I have the computer is the only place where I can get a reasonable connection.

Well apart from that moan about telecommunications companies, I really like the location that I have moved to. Even though Britain has suffered the earliest snows for a generation, I had four feet here at one point, it was something I was preparing for. It came sooner than I expected, but it was something that I had expected to happen eventually. I will be posting more on the snows at a latter date.

Moving here could be somewhat short lived, not because of the snow or the location as I only have to walk into the next village where the shops are, there are none at all in my village, and the way the landscape unfolds to reveal the views just lifts my spirits. The only reason I may not stay is because of the number of serious and previously known faults with the house. As I write, I have no hot water except what I can heat in pans. While I could see problems when I looked at the property, I was given reassurances regarding these. However, the examples of the workmanship thus far exhibited as well as the clear attempts to cover and conceal the problems has left me less than happy.

Had the property been only suffering minor problems, I would have been very happy here. But these combined with a request from my better half that I move closer to her place of study so we can see more of each other, and well I am considering that.

It will take me time to catch up with all that’s going on in net-land, I had over one thousand emails to work though when I finally got back online, but its great to be back.
