Good Morning + your weather report and general discussion

morning all
damp and dull this morning

Good morning - Cloudy but dry. A nippy temperature of 4ºC. I'll be going to the allotment to carry on with the digging. It's a large plot with several places that need the earth turning and weeding in preparation for planting. Carry on building the compost pens using the wood from old (knocked apart) palettes after that.

Regarding the broadband. I think the plan is sto lay fibre optic cable to all parts of the country but lord knows when that will be completed. Where I am, Virgin Media's fibre optic cable goes as far as the cabinet a few hundred yards/metres away. From there on it's co-ax cable to houses. With BT fibre, it's still only the old wires going from cabinets to people's houses. Those wires aren't capable of providing the sort of speed that co-ax cable can.

I wonder if there would be room for BT cables in VM's underground ducting? That would be a way to get a better connection to many places.

everyone wants to go faster and faster - I'm trying to slow down and experience the 'more quality of life' wow!

And good on you Davo.
There is nothing wrong with that attitude.
Me?
I still have such a lot of living to do, particularly as it seems I have avoided Covid.
After all.
I will be a long time dead!

Good Morning to all my Forum friends.
Wifey and I have our second Covid Jab at 3.15pm today, so I am happy to still be on the planet.
No matter what the weather!

Good morning - Sunny but still cold. More allotment work today. Well, it keeps me fit I suppose. 

Edit: Glad your jab went well Davo.

Good morning - It's overcast here but no rain is forecast. The temperature is 7 degrees. I won't be doing much today.

Of course you are welcome to visit Davo.At the moment though there are still a lot of Covid restrictions, and also.
I doubt there are any flights for you here.
And even if there are, you will likely have to quarantine for 2 weeks when you arrive.
Good luck with that! 

In the meantime.
To my normal business!

Good afternoon to all my Forum friends.
Posting a bit late today.
Been out walking as the Sun has been shining here, and it felt very nice.
Also had some time lazing on me swing hammock.
